To reset your NETGEAR AC1200 Smart WiFi Router, locate the Reset button on the router (usually labeled as "F" in the overview diagram provided in the installation guide). Use a paperclip or a similar tool to press and hold the Reset button for about 7 seconds until the Power LED blinks. This action will restore the router to its factory default settings. After the reset, you will need to set up your router again using the Nighthawk app or the router web interface as described in the installation guide. If you encounter any issues during the reset process, refer to the troubleshooting section in the installation guide or visit netgear.com/routerhelp for further assistance.
