Important Note: Performing a factory reset will erase all your settings, including WiFi passwords, cellular configurations (if applicable), and any custom network names you've set up.

Reset Methods:

There are two main methods for resetting your WiFi Ranger:

Method 1: Using the Control Panel (Preferred)

1. Connect to WiFi Ranger: Using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, connect to the temporary WiFi network created by your WiFi Ranger. Look for a network name that starts with "Pvt. WiFiRanger_Model XXXX" (replace "Model" with your specific model and "XXXX" with the last 4 digits of the device's ID number).
2. Access Control Panel: Open a web browser and navigate to either http://mywifiranger.com/ or http://10.1AB.CD.1:8080/ (replace "ABCD" with the last four digits of your device's ID number) to access the WiFi Ranger's control panel.
3. Locate Reset Option: Under the Setup tab, select the "Reset" button.
4. Confirm Reset: Click the reset button and confirm the prompt (if prompted). The WiFi Ranger will begin the reset process. This might take a few minutes.
5. Reboot After Reset: Once the factory reset is complete, the WiFi Ranger will prompt you to reboot the system. Click the "Reboot" button to initiate the reboot process. The WiFi Ranger will take a few minutes to restart with the factory settings.

Method 2: Power Cycle Reset (Only if Control Panel is inaccessible)

1. Unplug or Switch Off power to the WiFi Ranger: Locate your WiFi Ranger's power source and disconnect or turn it off. Wait for 5 seconds.
2. Power On (wait 2 minutes 30 seconds): Reconnect the power source or turn the WiFi Ranger back on. Leave it powered on for exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
3. Power Off (wait 5 seconds): After 2 minutes and 30 seconds, disconnect the power source again or switch it off. Wait for another 5 seconds.
4. Power On (wait 3 minutes 30 seconds): Reconnect the power source or turn the WiFi Ranger back on. This time, leave it powered on for 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
5. Power Off (wait 5 seconds): After 3 minutes and 30 seconds, disconnect the power source again or switch it off once more. Wait for 5 seconds.
6. Power On (wait 3 minutes 30 seconds): Reconnect the power source or turn the WiFi Ranger on for a final time. In this cycle, leave it powered on for 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
7. Power Off (wait 5 seconds): After the final 3 minutes and 30 seconds, disconnect the power source or switch the WiFi Ranger off again. Wait for 5 seconds.
8. Power On (wait 3 minutes): Reconnect the power source or power on the WiFi Ranger one last time. This time, leave it on for 3 minutes.
9. Reset Initiated: After 3 minutes, the WiFi Ranger will automatically initiate a factory reset. This might take several minutes to complete.

After the Reset:

• The WiFi Ranger will reboot with factory settings.
• You will need to reconfigure all settings, including WiFi connections, cellular data (if applicable), and any custom network names.
• Refer to your WiFi Ranger user manual or the knowledge base for instructions on setting up your device after a reset.
