Netgear Business AP WAX214 - AX1800 WIFI 6 Default local Device password.

Hey Guys
I got the APs login issue resolved. I was contacted by a chap from Netgear and he was able to deduce that the day_zero login page was not running on connecting the APs to the switch. He recommended that I initiate a factory default reset on the APs ( whilst the AP was connected, hold down the reset button for 20 seconds)
Once this was completed, the Aps rebooted and I was able to get the the required day_zero page via the acquired device ip address.
It definitely lets you wonder how come they were already configured.
Anyway..just posting so this may benefit someone in the future.

Love this advise. Have checked the QSG and UM - no, really NO indication of the (login) password to be used here.... 8-)
Has this ever passed a basic usability test?
