If you’re experiencing issues with your Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC Pro Indoor / Outdoor Access Point (UAP-AC-PRO), factory resetting the device might be the best solution. A factory reset will wipe all the settings and configurations from the device and restore it to its default state. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the process of resetting the UniFi AP AC Pro.
Step 1: Disconnect the UniFi AP AC Pro
To begin the factory reset process, disconnect the UniFi AP AC Pro from the power source. You can unplug the Ethernet cable as well if it’s connected.
Step 2: Locate the Reset Button
The reset button is located at the back of the device. You’ll need to use a paper clip or any pointed object to press and hold the button for at least five seconds. It’s important to note that you should not press the button for more than ten seconds as it may damage the device.
Step 3: Observe the LED Status
After pressing the reset button, the UniFi AP AC Pro will reboot and the LED light will start flashing. The LED will flash white for a few seconds, then turn off, and finally flash white again. Once the LED light turns off and starts flashing white again, you can release the reset button.
Step 4: Wait for the Device to Reboot
The UniFi AP AC Pro will take a few minutes to reboot and restore its factory settings. During this time, you should avoid interrupting the process or unplugging the device. You can wait for the LED light to stabilize and turn white before proceeding to the next step.
Step 5: Reconfigure the UniFi AP AC Pro
After the factory reset is complete, you’ll need to reconfigure the UniFi AP AC Pro. You can do this by following the UniFi Controller software setup wizard or using the UniFi mobile app. You’ll need to set up a new SSID, Wi-Fi password, and other network configurations.
