Resetting to Default Configuration

If you forget your password that allows you to configure the access point, you
may need to completely reset the configuration. You can use the MODE

Note
including passwords, WEP keys, the IP address, and the SSID.

power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power).
3. Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the
access point.

amber. (approximately 2 to 3 seconds). Then release the button.
