Return the Extender To Its Factory Default Settings
Under some circumstances (for example, if you lose track of the changes that you made to the extender
settings), you might want to erase the configuration and reset the extender to factory default settings.
To reset the extender to factory default settings, you can either use the Factory Reset button on the side
panel or log in to the extender and reset it.
Use the Reset Button
CAUTION:
This process erases any settings that you configured in the extender.
To use the Reset button to return the extender to its factory default settings:

Insert a straightened paper clip into the hole of the Reset button and hold it for about seven seconds.

Release the button.
CAUTION:
Do not try to go online, turn off the extender, shut down the computer, or
do anything else to the extender until it finishes restarting!
The extender resets and restarts. This process takes about one minute.
