Change the password recovery questions
for the local device password
During the initial log-in process, when you followed the prompts of the Setup Wizard,
you set up recovery for the local device password (also referred to as the admin
password). This is the password that you use to log in locally to the AP with the user
name admin.
If you forget this password, you can recover access to the local browser UI by resetting
the password and specifying a new password. The recovery process is supported in the
Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer browsers.
You can change the password recovery questions.
To change the password recovery questions:
1. Connect your computer or mobile device to the AP in one of the following ways
• Connect directly to the AP's WiFi network or LAN. (Applies to the AP in either
operation mode.)
• Connect to the same network that the AP is connected to. (Applies only if the AP
is operating in AP mode.)
2. Launch a web browser and enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
Instead, if you are connected to same network as the AP, enter the LAN IP address
that is assigned to the AP. For information about finding the IP address, see Find the
IP address of the AP when you cannot use routerlogin.net on page 34.
A login window displays.
