MR46E Reset Button?

hernandezr1 — Tue, 22 Mar 2022 15:34:19 GMT

I need to do a factory reset on a MR46E on a warehouse ceiling. Where is the reset button? is it the little black hole on one side of the ethernet port? It's big enough for a paperclip to go into.

Thanks! I assumed that little hole to the left of the ethernet port was the reset button so I put it in there and was able to get the lights to cycle. However, the AP is still not connecting to the dashboard. I opened a ticket with Meraki on that.

Did you press +/- 30 seconds to make sure.

The documentation I found said 5 seconds, but I did more like 10 seconds. I'll try it again in a bit. It's in a busy warehouse so I have to get someone to attach a platform to a forklift and lift me up there. It's always the ones that are hardest to reach that give all the problems. LOL.

If it cannot connect the cloud and the factory reset worked you should see some ssid "Meraki Setup" or Meraki-Scanning." You can connect that to get access to the local status page for some more information.

@hernandezr1 : rightly said by @jdb1 , press it for 30 sec.

Use a paperclip and push the reset button for about 15 seconds.
