Do not turn off the access point. Wait until the access point finishes restarting and
the Power/Cloud LED turns solid green or solid blue.

Use the local browser UI to reset the access point

You can use the access point's local browser UI to return the access point to its factory
default settings.
CAUTION: This process erases all settings that you configured in the access point.
To erase the settings:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
If your browser does not open the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 37.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 22.
