Restore The Airbridge To User Default Settings - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Restore the AirBridge to user default settings

After you overwrite the factory default settings with your user default settings (see
Overwrite the AirBridge factory default settings on page 106), you can restore the
AirBridge to user default settings.
IMPORTANT: After you overwrite the factory default settings with your user default
settings, if you press the physical Reset button the back panel of the AirBridge, the
AirBridge is returned to user default settings. In such a situation, to return the AirBridge
to the actual factory default settings, use the software Reset button in the local browser
UI (see Reset the AirBridge to factory default settings on page 104). If you do so, you
erase the user default settings.
To restore the AirBridge to the user default settings using the local browser UI:
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 Restore to User Default, click the
Restore button.
The page displays the restoration progress.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the
restoration. For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load a new page.
Do not turn off the AirBridge. Wait until the AirBridge finishes.
