Hello,
To connect to your AP via console from a Mac, you'll need a USB-to-serial adapter and a console cable. Open the Terminal application on your Mac, then use ls /dev/cu.* to identify your serial device (it will often be something like /dev/cu.usbserial-XXXXX). Once identified, connect using the screen command, e.g., screen /dev/cu.usbserial-XXXXX 115200 (adjust baud rate as per your AP's specifications, common rates are 9600 or 115200). To force reset without console, most APs have a small physical reset button (often recessed, requiring a paperclip) that you can press and hold for about 10-30 seconds while powered on; consult your specific AP model's manual for the exact procedure and duration.
