 +---- 
 +---- 
 +**To factory reset a Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Lite access point**, you have **two primary methods**: **Hardware Reset (Physical Button) and Software Reset (via UniFi Controller)**. 
 + 
 +**Method 1: Hardware Reset (Physical Button)** 
 + 
 +This is the most straightforward method and works even if you cannot access the UniFi Controller. 
 + 
 +**Locate the Reset Button**: 
 + 
 +The reset button is typically located near the Ethernet port of the UAP-AC-Lite. 
 + 
 +It's a small, pinhole button that you'll need a paperclip or pin to press. 
 + 
 +**Power On the Device**: 
 + 
 +Make sure the access point is powered on (connected to a PoE injector or a compatible PoE switch). 
 + 
 +**Press and Hold the Reset Button**: 
 + 
 +**Press and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds (sometimes up to 20 seconds to be sure).** 
 + 
 +Release the button once the LED indicator starts flashing or **turning off briefly**. 
 + 
 +**Wait for Reboot**: 
 + 
 +The device will reboot, which can take a couple of minutes. 
 + 
 +After rebooting, the device will be reset to factory defaults. 
 + 
 +**Method 2: Software Reset (via UniFi Controller)** 
 + 
 +If your AP is already adopted and you have access to the UniFi Controller: 
 + 
 +Log into the UniFi Controller. 
 + 
 +Go to the "Devices" tab and find your UAP-AC-Lite. 
 + 
 +Click on the device to open its properties. 
 + 
 +Go to the "**Settings**" tab. 
 + 
 +Click "**Forget Device**"
 + 
 +This will remove it from the controller and reset it to factory defaults. 
 + 
 +**Factory Default Settings** 
 + 
 +After resetting, the UAP-AC-Lite will have the following default settings: 
 + 
 +**IP Address:** **Obtained via DHCP** (Check your DHCP server or use Advanced IP Scanner or nmap to find it) 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +**<wrap hi>Username: ubnt</wrap>** 
 + 
 +**<wrap hi>Password: ubnt</wrap>** 
 + 
 +  ssh ubnt@<IP_DEL_AP> 
 +  set-default 
 +  reboot 
 +  ssh ubnt@<IP_DEL_AP> 
 +  syswrapper.sh restore-default 
 +  reboot 
 +  ssh ubnt@<IP_DEL_AP> 
 +  set-inform  http://10.210.108.66:8080/inform 
 +  reboot 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 + 
 +**WLC:** 
 + 
 +  service unifi restart 
 +  systemctl restart unifi 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 + 
 +Default Web Interface IP: If no DHCP is available, **the default IP is usually 192.168.1.20.** 
 + 
 +**Re-adopting to Controller** 
 + 
 +**After resetting**, the access point will appear as "**Pending Adoption**" in your UniFi Controller dashboard. You will need to **re-adopt and re-provision it to make it functional again within your network**. 
 + 
 + 
 +---- 
 +---- 
 + 
 +**Access the UniFi Controller** 
 + 
 +Log into your UniFi Controller dashboard. This can be: 
 + 
 +  * UniFi Cloud Key 
 +  * UniFi Network Application running on a local computer or server. 
 +  * UniFi Dream Machine (UDM / UDM-Pro) 
 + 
 +---- 
 +---- 
 + 
 +**Check for Pending Devices** 
 + 
 +Go to the "**Devices**" tab on your **UniFi Controller dashboard**. 
 + 
 +Look for your UAP-AC-Lite under the “**Pending Adoption**” or “**Disconnected**” section. It should show up with its MAC address. 
 + 
 +If it doesn't appear, make sure: 
 + 
 +**It’s properly powered and connected.** 
 + 
 +**The network segment is reachable by the UniFi Controller.** 
 + 
 + 
 +---- 
 +---- 
 + 
 +**Adopt the Access Point** 
 + 
 +Click on the** device’s row** to open its properties. 
 + 
 +Click on the “**Adopt**” button. 
 + 
 +**The device will start provisioning**. This process can take a few minutes. 
 + 
 +Once completed, the status will change to “**Connected**”. 
 + 
 + 
 +---- 
 +---- 
 + 
 +**Re-Provision the Access Point** 
 + 
 +After adoption, the UAP-AC-Lite may require a firmware upgrade. You can do this from the “**Devices**” tab by selecting the device and choosing “**Upgrade**” if an update is available. 
 + 
 +Configure your wireless networks (**SSIDs**) and ensure the AP is part of the correct Wireless Network Group. 
 + 
 +**Apply** the settings and wait for the AP to provision. 
 + 
 +Check the device status to ensure it is “**Connected**” and functioning properly. 
 + 
 + 
 +---- 
 +---- 
 + 
 + 
 +**Test Connectivity** 
 + 
 +Connect a client device to the Wi-Fi network and check Internet access. 
 + 
 +Optionally, use the UniFi Controller Dashboard to monitor client connections and signal strength. 
 + 
 + 
 +---- 
 +---- 
 + 
 +**Troubleshooting Tips** 
 + 
 + 
 +If the device does not appear for adoption: 
 + 
 +Check if it's powered correctly (**PoE port should be providing power**). 
 + 
 +**Ensure the AP is on the same network segment as the UniFi Controller.** 
 + 
 +Make sure port **8080** and **8443** are open on your network for communication with the UniFi Controller. 
 + 
 +If adoption fails repeatedly, consider performing a hardware reset again and retrying.
