Hardware interfaces

The bottom panel of the access point provides the DC power connector for an optional
power adapter, Reset button, LAN 1/PoE++ port, and LAN 2 port.
Figure 2. Hardware interfaces
The bottom panel contains the following components:
• DC power connector: If you do not use a PoE++ switch to provide power to the
access point, connect an optional power adapter to the DC power connector.
• Reset button: You can use the Reset button to restart the access point or to reset
the access point to its factory default settings. To restart the access point, press the
Reset button for about two seconds. To reset the access point to factory default
settings, press the Reset button for 10 seconds or longer.
Note: If you added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location, you
must first use the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app to remove the access point from
your Insight network location before the factory default settings function of the Reset
button is available. For more information, see Use the Reset button to reset the
access point on page 171.
• LAN 1/PoE++ port: Use the LAN 1/PoE++ Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 LAN port to
connect the access point to a PoE++ switch, or if you use an optional power adapter,
to a non-PoE switch. You must use the LAN 1/PoE++ port for the access point network
connection. (Do not use the LAN 2 port for the network connection.)
If connected to 2.5 Gbps equipment, the LAN 1/PoE++ port supports Ethernet
speeds up to 2.5 Gbps within your LAN. If your Internet connection, modem, router,
and switch support a speed of 2.5 Gbps, the access point's Internet connection also
functions at 2.5 Gbps. Otherwise, the Internet connection functions at 1 Gbps, which
is a common speed.
