Schedule the access point to reboot
You can schedule the access point to reboot at a time that is more convenient for the
network, for example, when you do not expect any (or only a few) WiFi clients to be
connected to the access point. The schedule that you set up is a recurring schedule.
To schedule the access point to reboot:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 42.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 24.
The Dashboard page displays.
4. Select Management > Maintenance > Reset > Reboot AP.
The Reboot AP page displays.
5. Click the Enable Scheduled Reboot button so that the button displays blue.
The scheduling controls display.
6. Select the check box for the day on which you want the access point to reboot.
You can select multiple days.
7. Using the Start Time menus, specify the hour and minutes for the time at which the
access point must reboot.
Specify the hour in 24-hour format.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
