WPS

I installed my extender using the WPS button on my router.  I later found out that this makes my wifi easily to hack.  If I want to reinstall the extender using the website do I have to use the factory reset button before reinstalling the extender?

Installation

    No, you can simply connect to it through the browser and re-run the installation assistant. 

    Or you can factory reset and reinstall using the assistant. Either would work
