NETGEAR WiFi 6 AX1800/AX3600 Dual Band PoE/PoE+ Access Points, WAX214 and WAX218
After you reset the access point to factory default settings, the LAN IP address is
https://192.168.0.100 (https://www.aplogin.net), the access point's DHCP client is
enabled, the default management SSID is shown in the format
WAX214XXXXXX-CONFIG-ONLY or WAX218XXXXXX-CONFIG-ONLY (in which XXXXXX
represents the last six digits of the MAC address of the access point), and the default
password for WiFi access is a unique WiFi password that is printed on the access point
label. For a list of factory default settings, see Factory default settings on page 137.
To reset the access point to factory default settings using the local browser UI:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is directly connected
over WiFi to the access point or connected to the same network as the access point.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
If you are directly connected to the "CONFIG-ONLY" SSID, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login window displays.
If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point on
page 33. For more information about the "CONFIG-ONLY" SSID, see 2.4 GHz
management SSID on page 58.
If your browser does not display a login window but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after you complete the initial
log-in process on page 35.
3. Enter the access point local device password and click the Login button.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The password is
case-sensitive.
The Device Status page displays.
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, click the Reset to Default Reset button.
The page displays the reset progress.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the reset.
For example, do not close the browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn
off the access point. Wait until the access point finishes.
When the reset is finished, the address bar of your web browser might display
192.168.0.100, which is the default IP address of the access point and the same as
www.aplogin.net.
