NETGEAR WAC510

Viewed from left to right, the back panel contains the following components:
•
LAN port. One black Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 LAN port to connect the access point
to Ethernet devices. You can use the LAN port to connect the access point to a switch,
computer, or other Ethernet device.
•
WAN PoE port. One yellow Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 WAN PoE port that provides a
connection to a PoE switch or regular switch that is connected to your network and
the Internet, for example, through an Internet modem. If the access point functions
in Router mode (see Change the system mode to Router mode or AP mode on page
162), you can connect the WAN PoE port directly to the LAN port of an Internet
modem.
•
DC power connector. If you do not use a PoE connection, connect an optional
power adapter to the DC power connector.
For more information about WAN PoE and LAN port connections, see Set up and connect
the access point to your network or Internet modem on page 22.
Note: The Reset button is located on the left side panel of the access point. Press the
Reset button for about 2 seconds to reboot the access point or for more than 10 seconds
to reset the access point to factory default settings. If you added the access point to a
NETGEAR Insight network location, you must first use the Insight app or Insight Cloud
portal to remove the access point from your Insight network location before the factory
default settings function of the Reset button is available. For more information, see Use
the Reset button to reset the access point on page 181.
