Restoring 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 Restore Factory Default function, which restores all factory settings.
After a restore, all or the WG602v3's settings will revert to the default settings; for example, User
Name will be admin, the Password will be password, the DHCP client will be enabled. and the
NetBIOS name is reset to NETGEAR plus the last 6 digits of the MAC address.
To restore the factory default settings:
1. From under Management on the main menu, click Restore Factory Default. The Restore
Factory Default screen will display.
2. Check the Yes radio box, and then click Apply. The WG602v3 factory default settings will be
restored.

Using the Reset Button to Reboot or Restore Factory Defaults

If you don't have the login password or the IP address of the wireless access point, you can use the
default Reset button on the bottom of the device. The reset button has two functions:
• Reboot. When pressed and released quickly, the wireless access point will reboot (restart).
• Reset to Factory Defaults. When held down for at least 10 seconds (until the LED blinks
rapidly), you can clear all data and restore all settings to the factory default values.
To clear all data and restore the factory default values:
1. Use something with a small point, such as a pen, to press the Reset button in for at least 10
seconds (until the LED blinks rapidly).
2. Release the Reset button.
The factory default configuration has now been restored, and the WG602v3 is ready for use.
