To connect to the AP using a computer that is connected to the same network as
the AP:
1.
Determine the IP address that your router assigned to the AP by one of the following
ways:
•
Access your router: Access the DHCP server information of your router to see
the devices that are connected to it, including the AP. The IP address that is
assigned to the AP is listed.
•
Use an IP scanner: Use an IP scanner application (they are available free of charge
on the Internet) in the network of your existing router. The IP scanner results
include the IP address that is assigned to the AP.
2. On the computer, launch a web browser and, in the address bar, enter the IP address
that is assigned to the AP.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the AP user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The initial set up page displays. This page displays only the first time that you log in
to the local browser user interface (UI).
4.
Set up a new admin password (also called the local device password) and specify
answers to two security questions (you can choose the questions).
The new admin password replaces the default password password, so we
recommend that you write down your new password or save it in another way.
5.
As an option for greater security, set new WiFi network names (SSIDs) for the
NETGEAR_11N and NETGEAR_11AC default SSIDs and new WiFi passphrases for
the default sharedsecret WiFi passphrase that is used for both SSIDs.
The new SSIDs and WiFi passphrases replace the default SSIDs and WiFi passphrase,
so we recommend that you write down the new information or save it in another
way.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
7. Log back in to the local browser UI using your new admin password.
The Home page displays. The IP Settings pane shows the IP address that is assigned
to the AP.
You can now use the AP or customize the settings for your network environment.
