1. Launch a web browser from a computer or tablet that is directly connected over WiFi
to the AP or connected to the same network as the AP.

If you are directly connected to the management WiFi network, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login page displays.
If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the AP on page 24. For
more information about the management WiFi network, see Management WiFi
network on page 43.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see kb.netgear.com/000062980.
3. Enter the AP login password and click the LOGIN button.
The AP login password is the one that you specified the first time you logged in to
the AP. The password is case-sensitive.

The page that displays shows the Reboot the device section and the Backup/Restore
Settings section.

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 AP. Wait until the AP 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 AP and the same as
www.aplogin.net.
7. If your AP used a non-default IP address before you reset it to factory default settings
(for example, an IP address assigned by the DHCP server in your network), enter that
IP address in the address bar.
