Soft Reset (Power Cycle)

Unplug the EX7300 from the power outlet.
Wait 10–15 seconds.
Plug it back in and wait for the Power LED to go solid.

Factory Reset (Restore Defaults)

Make sure the extender is powered on.
Locate the recessed Reset button.

Warning: Resetting your NETGEAR extender can 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 and password, because you’ll need to set up the extender again from scratch.
