SMC 2652W AP password reset

Published by pj at 9:16 pm under hardware

As page 8 of the online manual of the SMC 2652W AP is “broken” in Adobe Acrobat Reader, the procedure for resetting the access point to factory defaults is:

  1. Power off the SMC2652W
  2. Keep the reset button pressed, and power it on while keeping it pressed
  3. Wait till the “Wireless activity” and “Wireless connection” leds start blinking
  4. Release the reset button
  5. You can now switch modes by pressing the reset button shortly. The modes are:
Connection Activity function
off off normal boot
off on reset to factory defaults
on off boot an primary firmware (?)
on on normal boot

    Thanks for posting this – I haven’t been able to find this info anywhere, and it saved me from having to dump this thing as inoperative!
