Restoring the WAG102 to the Factory Default Settings

It is sometimes desirable to restore the wireless access point to the factory default settings. This
can be done by using the Restore function, which restores all factory settings. After a restore, the
wireless access point password will be password, the WAG102 DHCP client will be enabled, the
default LAN IP address will be 192.168.0.232, and the access point name will reset to the name
printed on the label on the bottom of the unit.
To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP
address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the wireless access point (see
Figure 1-1 on page 1-7). The reset button has two functions:
• Reboot. When pressed and released, the Wireless Access Point will reboot (restart).
• Reset to Factory Defaults. This button can also be used to clear all data and restore all
settings to the factory default values.
To clear all data and restore the factory default values:
1. Power off the WAG102.
2. Use something with a small point, such as a pen, hold the Reset button for 5 seconds while
your Power On the WAG102.
3. Continue holding the Reset Button until the LEDs blink twice.
4. Release the Reset Button.
The factory default configuration has now been restored and the WAG102 is ready for use.
