button for more than ten seconds, or restore
the defaults using the Access Point’s web-based
utility. If you press the reset button for less
than ten seconds, the Access Point will simply
reboot.

down the reset button, the Access Point will
be configured with a default static IP address
of 192.168.1.245, see “Chapter 5: Advanced

erase all of your settings (including wireless,
security, and IP configuration) and replace them
with the factory defaults. Do not reset the Access
Point if you want to retain these settings.

to Ethernet network devices, such as a switch or
router. The Access Point can be powered using
