Back Panel

The back panel of the access point provides the DC power connector, LAN port, and Reset button.
Figure 2. Access point back panel
Viewed from left to right, the back panel contains the following components:
• DC power connector. If you do not use a PoE connection, connect an optional power adapter to the
DC power connector.
• LAN port. One Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 LAN port that supports PoE. Use the LAN port to connect the
access point to a switch or PoE switch that is connected to a network router, which, in turn, must be
connected to the Internet, for example, through an Internet modem. You can also use the LAN port to
connect the access point to a computer for initial configuration.
• Reset button. Press the Reset button for about 2 seconds to reboot the access point or for more than
10 seconds to reset the access point to factory default settings. If you added the access point to a
network on the Insight app before, you must first use the NETGEAR Insight app to remove the access
point from your network before the factory default settings function of the Reset button is available. For
more information, see
For more information about the LAN port connection, see
Network on page 14.
Use the Reset Button on page 104.
