1.6 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button at the back of the device to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you
will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to “1234”.
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for ten seconds or
until the POWER LED begins to blink and then release it. When the POWER LED begins to blink,
the defaults have been restored and the device restarts.
1.7 Wireless Access
The VMG is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebook computers or PDAs
and iPads. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet
cables.
You can configure your wireless network in either the built-in Web Configurator, or using the WPS
button.
Figure 6 Wireless Access Example
1.7.1 Using the WPS Button
Once the WiFi LED turns green, the wireless network is active. If the wireless network is turned
off, see Section 7.2 on page 85 for how to enable the wireless network on the VMG.
You can also use the WPS button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the VMG
and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.
To activate WPS:
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on and not blinking.
2 Press the WPS button for two seconds and release it.
3 Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the VMG. The WiFi LED
flashes orange while the VMG sets up a WPS connection with the other wireless device.
