WAC510 Reset Issue
Hi All, I have a WAC510 access point I'm trying to login into to change settings. I can access the login page through a web browser using the IP address. Unfortunately, nobody at my company ...
There is no way to break into the WAC5xx or WAX6xx retaining the existing local config, regardless if the device was added before to a different Insight account or not.
How complex is your wireless config and finally the network where the AP is connected to?
Multiple SSIDs, VLANS, probably 802.1x authentication with RADIUS?
If you can figure out the account (email) the AP was registered to, including the Insight account, and if this email is a busines acount of a fomer employee, you could be able to regain access to the e-mail and the Netgear account.
If this is a business, and the AP belongs to your organisation, you might have a chance to gain the information on the e-mail account the device was registered initially wit the help of Netgear.
I will try to figure out the email address the AP's were registered with. That seem like the best (maybe only) option.
The configuration on the AP is actually pretty simple. Its just serves as an extender for a single SSID wireless network.
