Hi leinhto,
Kindly try the steps below:
1. Disconnect the WAC730 from your existing network and make sure its turned on. Get a straightened paper clip.
2. Insert the paper clip to the factory defaults hole then press and hold the factory reset button inside it for 30 seconds.
3. After 30 seconds, turn off the WAC730 while you still continue to press and hold the factory reset button. Wait for 5 seconds.
4. After 5 seconds, turn on the WAC730 switch while you still continue to press and hold the factory reset button. Wait for another 5 seconds.
5. After 5 seconds, release the paper clip from the factory reset button. Wait for the WAC730 to boot up properly.
6. Try to access the web-GUI of the WAC730.
