Sorry, this post if offtopic and in the wrong forum, but I cannot find an adequate forum, not one where I can actually POST this help request. Sorry mods, please feel free to move or create the right child category. anyway...

Can someone tell me how I can do a hardware reset on this AP (DWL-7700AP). We have a unit in our hardware demo room which was configured by a predecessor but there was no info transfer when he left.  Now I can't reset this device to get into the configuration.

I went through all documents and internet search to no avail. This unit is out of warranty, so opening it up (if need be) is not an issue.

Thank you!

There a button in back?

You could try from the devices menu as showed here:

This is the unit in question: http://www.dlink.ca/products/?pid=376

There is absolutely no button anywhere on this housing; this unit is meant to be installed outdoors. You would think Dlink would have provided something for a hard reset but there is nothing anywhere on it.

Apparently you have to send it in to get it reset; I'm looking for alternate solutions and will probably open this baby up soon enough to get to the guts and see if I can do it this way.

Thanks anyway though.

Can you get to the devices menu to reset it?

I can't get into the menu because I don't have the admin password, this is why I'm looking for a hardware reset button as it will reset it to a blank password.

OK, I would call DLink and ask...sorry could be of more help.

It's all good, I tried l/p combo user/password and it worked, I then was able to reset to factory settings and change the IP and set it up properly.

I don't know if this was done or it was the default, maybe it will help someone.

cheers!
