How do I reset my Wavlink AC1200 extender?
A common question that many customers ask us is what is the password for the Wavlink AC1200 extender. The answer is simple. If you have not made any changes to the password settings of your extender, then the default credentials will work. The default username and password are both admin.
Many times users set a customized password for their extender by going into the configuration page during the Wavlink AC1200 setup process. Then, many times they forget this password or simply lose the paper on where they wrote it down. In such a case we need to reset the extender so that the default credentials can be used once again.
There are two ways we can reset any router or extender. One is the hard reset and the other is called the soft reset. The soft reset can be done by logging into the extender’s admin page. Whereas, the hard reset can be done directly from the extender.
How to Perform a Soft Reset of the Wavlink AC1200 Extender?
Connect your extender to the power outlet
Then, use either the wifi network or a LAN cable to connect to a laptop or desktop
You can alternately connect your phone or tablet with the extender using wifi too
Next, open your device’s browser and enter the following IP address in the address bar: http://192.168.10.1 and press enter
The login page will appear and you can enter the default credentials that we mentioned above
If you have changed the password, then use the new one
After you have logged in, go to the Save/Reload Settings
Change the reload settings to the default mode to restore the factory configuration
How to Perform a Hard Factory Reset of the Wavlink AC1200 Extender?
The hard reset of the extender does not require you to connect it to any device. It is a simple process that you can do in a few minutes.
Connect your extender to the electrical outlet to power it on
At the back of the extender, there will be a small reset button
Use a needle or a paperclip to press that reset button for ten seconds and then release it
The LED lights will start to flash and then the extender will reboot
Once the lights of the device begin to flash, it means that the rest is complete and factory default settings have been implemented
