NETGEAR WAC510 - Connect over Ethernet Using a Computer Connected to the same Network

Connect over Ethernet using a computer connected to the
same network
The following procedure assumes that your network includes a DHCP server (or router
that functions as a DHCP server) and that the access point and the computer are on the
same network. By default, the access point functions as a DHCP client. If you want to
set up the access point with a static (fixed) IP address, see Connect over Ethernet using
a directly connected computer on page 37.
To connect to the access point using a computer that is connected to the same
network as the access point:
1. To determine the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the access point,
access the DHCP server or use an IP network scanner.
Note: You can also the NETGEAR Insight app to discover the IP address that is
assgined to the access point. For more information, see Connect over WiFi using
the NETGEAR Insight App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 26.
2. On the computer, open a web browser and, in the address bar, enter the IP address
that is assigned to the access point.
