Resetting AirTies Devices (Restoring Factory Settings)

If you’re having trouble getting multiple AirTies devices to connect to each other, you may need to reset them. Here’s how to do it.

To reset a device to factory default:

  1. Use the end of a metal paper clip, plastic toothpick, or similar.
  2. Push this pointy object down the hole marked “RESET” on the back of the access point and hold it for 5 seconds.
  3. Once the process has been initiated, the LEDs on the front of the access point will briefly flicker, and the device will reboot within 3 minutes.

This resets the device to original factory defaults, meaning that devices that came in a home pack, will still be meshed with each other after a reset, while any additional access points must be re-added to the mesh after a reset.

Note that for a mesh network to be reset, you must reset all devices within 1 minute and 30 seconds.
