Restoring the WG302 to the Factory Default Settings

It is sometimes desirable to restore the wireless access point to the factory default settings. This

can be done by using the Restore function, which restores all factory settings. After a restore, the

wireless access point's password will be password, the WG302's DHCP client is enabled, the

default LAN IP address is 192.168.0.228, and the access point name is reset to the name printed on

the label on the bottom of the unit.

Using the Reset Button to Restore Factory Default Settings

To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP

address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the wireless access point (see

“WG302 rear panel” on page 2-7). The reset button has two functions:

• Reboot. When pressed and released, the Wireless Access Point will reboot (restart).

• Reset to Factory Defaults. This button can also be used to clear all data and restore all

settings to the factory default values.

To clear all data and restore the factory default values:

1. Power Off the WG302

2. Hold the Reset Button down while you Power On the WG302 for 5 seconds.

3. Continue holding the Reset Button until the LEDs blink twice.

4. Release the Reset Button.

The factory default configuration has now been restored, and the WG302 is ready for use.

Changing the Administrator Password

The default password is password. Change this password to a more secure password. You cannot

change the administrator login name.
