Note: The switch also provides a recessed multi-function Reset button on the
front panel that lets you return the switch to its factory default settings,
causing all custom settings to be erased. The factory default settings
function of the Reset button is available only after you use the NETGEAR
Insight app or Insight Cloud portal to remove the switch from your Insight
network location. After you do so, press the Reset button for at least five
seconds. The switch restarts and returns to its factory default settings.
To reset the switch to the factory default settings:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
For information about finding the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on
page 14.
