Overwrite The Airbridge Factory Default Settings - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Overwrite the AirBridge factory default settings

You can overwrite the factory default settings with the current configuration settings. If
you do so, the factory default settings become the user default settings.
CAUTION: After you overwrite the factory default settings with the user default settings,
if you press the physical Reset button on the back panel of the AirBridge, the AirBridge
is returned to the user default settings, not to the factory default settings. To return the
AirBridge to the actual factory default settings, access the local browser UI, and use the
software Reset button. For more information, see Reset the AirBridge to factory default
settings on page 104.
To overwrite the factory default settings with the current configuration settings
of the AirBridge:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge.
The login page displays.
If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the AirBridge after initial setup on page 31.
3. Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password.
The user name is admin. The local device password is the one that you specified
the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously managed the AirBridge through the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight
Cloud portal, enter the Insight network password for the Insight network location to
which the AirBridge was assigned (see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight
App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 13).
The Device Status page displays the Device Information section and other sections.
4. Under System Manager, select Firmware.
The page displays the Firmware Upgrade section and the Backup/Restore Settings
section.
5. In the Backup/Restore Settings section, next to Back Up Setting as Default, click the
Backup button.
Your settings are saved. The user default settings replace the factory default settings.
