Why Reset Your Wavlink AC600?

Resetting your Wavlink AC600 can solve a ton of common issues:

• Frequent disconnections
• Slow internet speeds
• Trouble connecting to new networks
• Forgotten settings or passwords
• Firmware updates gone sideways

A reset clears out the bugs and glitches like giving your device a fresh start. It restores factory settings, which is especially useful if you’ve tweaked configurations and things have taken a messy turn.

Two Ways to Reset Wavlink AC600

Alright, there are two primary ways to reset the Wavlink AC600:

• Software Reset via Web Interface
• Manual Reset via Reset Button

Let’s learn both so you can pick the method that suits your situation best.

Steps to Reset via Web Interface

If your device’s interface also has an option to reset, then you can also use that, and have a look at the steps given below:

Connect to Wavlink Network First

Plug the AC600 into your device. Search for the Wavlink wireless network on your device and connect.

Access the Interface

Open a browser. Type 192.168.10.1 or ap.setup into the address bar and tap enter. You’ll land on the Wavlink login page. Enter the default credentials:

• Username: admin
• Password: admin

Navigate to the Reset Settings

Once logged in, find the System Tools or maintenance tab (depending on your model). Click on Factory Defaults or Reset. Hit the Restore or Reset button.

Confirm and Reboot

The AC600 will reboot automatically. Give it a few minutes. When the lights settle, now your device is as a fresh product out of the box, a clean slate.

Pro Tip:

If you’ve changed the login credentials and can’t remember them, skip this method and head straight to the manual reset.

2. Manual Reset Using the Reset Button

This is the good old-fashioned hard reset. Ideal if you can’t access the interface or forgot your login credentials.

Step 1: Find the Reset Button

Locate a tiny hole or button on the side or bottom of the AC600 adapter or its external extension base.

Step 2: Power It Up

Make sure the adapter is plugged into a powered-on device (like your laptop or PC).

Step 3: Press and Hold

• Use a paperclip or pin to press and hold the reset button.
• Hold it for about 10-15 seconds until the LED light flashes or turns off and on again.

Step 4: Let Go and Wait

• Release the button.
• The AC600 will reboot and reset to factory settings.

That’s it. Now, your adapter is back to its out-of-the-box condition.

What Happens After the Reset?

So, you’ve hit reset what now?

Once your Wavlink AC600 resets, you’ll need to:

• Reconnect to its default WiFi network
• Reconfigure any custom settings (SSID, passwords, modes)
• Possibly re-install drivers if you’re using older systems or ran into conflicts

If you’re using it as a WiFi repeater or client, you’ll also need to re-pair it with your router.

Still Having Issues?

If a reset didn’t solve the problem, consider these quick checks:

• Driver Check: Make sure you’ve installed the latest drivers from Wavlink’s official website.
• Firmware Update: Sometimes a buggy firmware causes weird behavior. Check if there’s an update available.
• USB Port Troubles: Try switching ports. Some ports may not supply enough power, especially on older PCs.
• Device Conflict: Disable other network adapters temporarily to isolate the issue.

If all else fails, contact our support team or at least consider a small chat if it’s showing signs of hardware failure.
