The configuration is reset to factory default settings. When the reset is complete, the access point
reboots. This process takes about two minutes.
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 LED remains solid green.
Change the IP Address Settings of the Access Point
Under some circumstances, for example, when you move the access point from one network to another,
you might need to change the IP address settings of the access point. For information about connecting the
access point to your router or network, see 
Connect the Access Point to Your Router or Network
 on page
12.
The following procedure describes how you can either configure a static IP address or enable the DHCP
client of the access point.
If you enabled the access point’s DHCP client and the access point already received
an IP address from the DHCP server, you can disable the DHCP client only if you
enter a static IP address. If you want to disable the DHCP server but do not want to
use a static IP address, you must reset the access point to factory default settings
(see
Return the Access Point to Its Factory Default Settings
 on page 44).
Note
To change the IP settings of the access point:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to
the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2.
Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
If you did not enable the DHCP client on the access point or did not assign a static IP address, enter
the default access point IP address 
192.168.0.100.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is 
admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
