Restoring the WAG102 to the Factory Default Settings

It is sometimes desirable to restore the wireless access point to the factory default settings. This
can be done by using the Erase button, which restores all factory settings. After a restore, the
wireless access point's password will be password, the WAG102's DHCP client is disabled, the
default LAN IP address is 192.168.0.232, and the access point name is reset to the name printed on
the label on the bottom of the unit.

Using the Reset Button to Restore Factory Default Settings

To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP
address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the wireless access point (see
Figure 2-2 on page 2-7). The reset button has two functions:
• Reboot. When pressed and released, the Wireless Access Point will reboot (restart).
• Reset to Factory Defaults. This button can also be used to clear all data and restore all
settings to the factory default values.
To clear all data and restore the factory default values:
1. Power off the WAG102 and power it back on.
2. Use something with a small point, such as a pen, to press the Reset button in and hold it in for
at least 5 seconds.
3. Continue holding the Reset Button until the LEDs blink twice.
4. Release the Reset Button.
The factory default configuration has now been restored and the WAG102 is ready for use.
