WNDAP350 CLI Factory Default syntax

Hi,

Firmware has left me with a cut down 'cloud connect' type GUI.

I need to reset via CLI as suggested by the firmware upgrade notes as the button reset did not restablish the full GUI.

 

I have tried the suggested restore-configuration /etc/default-config

And an error appears asking for restore host username password

 

All CLI command lines are prefeixed by netgear70B528 which I assume is 'host' But this fails with bad address.

So I subsituted the default IP address for host. This time it said connection refused (or similar). Is this because I need to enable something via the CLI first?

If so what?

 

I tried the CLI restore-configuration command and this simply did the same as the button reset.

 

What do I do?

Andy

  • Hi flattened,

     

    Kindly answer the questions below:

     

    a. What is the current firmware version of the WNDAP350? 

    b. Do you want to use the WNDAP350 as a standalone access point? If yes, kindly access the web-GUI of the WNDAP350.  Then go to Configuration > Sysytem > Basic > General > Cloud Setting.  Then, disable the cloud option and apply the setting.

     

    I look forward to your response. 

     

     

    Regards,

      Thankyou - I was so surprised by the loss of functionality I did not even SEE that option until you pointed it out.

      All fixed.
