1. On the back of the AP, locate the recessed Reset button.
For more information, see Back panel with ports, buttons, and a power connector
on page 19.
2. Insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening.
3. Press the Reset button for 5 seconds or until the Power LED starts blinking amber.
After you release the Reset button, the Power LED turns off. After about 30 seconds,
the Power LED lights solid red for about five seconds and then lights solid amber.
When the reset process is complete and the AP is ready, the Power LED lights solid
green. The reset process takes about two minutes.
Note: If you hold the Reset button for less than 5 seconds and then release it, the
AP restarts rather than returns to its factory default settings.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of corrupting the firmware, do not interrupt the reset.
For example, if you are connected to the AP’s local browser UI, do not close the
browser, click a link, or load a new page. Do not turn off the AP. Wait until the AP
finishes restarting and the Power LED turns solid green.
