Netgear EX3700 Reset Location

Locate the dedicated physical Reset pinhole or recessed button shown in the diagram. Use a paperclip or SIM eject tool to press and hold according to the steps below.

Reset Button / Pinhole LED Blink Confirmation

Soft Reset (Power Cycle)

Unplug the EX3700 from its wall outlet.
Wait about 10–15 seconds.
Plug it back in and wait for the Power LED to turn solid.

Factory Reset (Restore Defaults)

Ensure the EX3700 is powered on with a stable Power LED.
Locate the recessed Factory Reset button on the bottom or side of the extender.
Use a paperclip or pin to press and hold the reset button for about 5–10 seconds until the Device to Extender LED starts blinking or turns amber.
Release the button and wait a couple of minutes for the extender to restart and restore factory defaults.
After reboot, the EX3700 is back to default settings and you can set it up again using WPS or the browser-based installation assistant.

Warning: Resetting your NETGEAR extender will erase saved settings such as WiFi names, passwords, and custom options. Always try a simple power cycle (unplug, wait 10–15 seconds, plug back in) before performing a factory reset. If you do factory reset, make sure you know your router’s WiFi name (SSID) and password because you’ll need to set up the extender again from scratch.
