Reset
The access point will need to be reset when certain settings are changed or if it stops responding correctly. This reset is normally implemented by selecting the Reset button and accepting the screen prompts. The programmed access point settings will not be changed by this soft reset. To perform the reset, click on the screen Reset button and you will be asked to confirm your decision. The reset procedure takes about 60 seconds and a moving bar in the browser window shows the progress of the reset.
Note that after certain key values of the access point are changed, then the web screen Reset button will flash prompting you to reset the device.
