Insight Cloud Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Access Point Model WAX620 Use the local browser UI to reset the access point You can use the access point's local browser UI to return the access point to its factory default settings. CAUTION: This process erases all settings that you configured in the access point. To reset the access point to factory default settings through the local browser UI: 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 43. 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 25. The Dashboard page displays. 4. Select Management > Maintenance > Reset > Restore Defaults.

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 access point. Wait until the access point finishes restarting and the Power/Cloud LED turns solid green or solid blue. Manage and Maintain the Access 172 Point User Manual
