NETGEAR WAX214v2 - Changes Are Not Saved in the Device UI

•
If the AP is connected to a network with a DHCP server and you do not know the IP
address, determine the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the AP by using
one of the following methods:
-
Windows-based computer: If you use a Windows-based computer, open
Windows Explorer, and click the Network link. If prompted, enable the Network
Discovery feature. Under Network Infrastructure, locate and right-click the AP
device icon, and select Properties. The AP IP address displays. Assuming that
you did not change the device name, the AP is shown as NETGEARXXXXXX, in
which XXXXXX represents the last six characters of the MAC address of the AP’s
LAN interface.
- DHCP server: Access the DHCP server in your network and open the page that
shows the network connections.
-
IP network scanner: Use an IP network scanner to scan for the IP address that
is assigned to the AP.
Note: For more information, see Find the IP address of the AP on page 24.

Changes are not saved in the device UI
If you are logged in to the AP’s device UI and the AP does not save the changes that
you make on a page, do the following:
•
When entering configuration settings, always click the Save or Apply button before
moving to another page or tab. If you clicked the Save button, when you are ready
with entering configuration settings, click the Apply button to apply the configuration
settings. Otherwise, your changes are lost.
•
Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. It is possible that the changes
occurred but that the old settings remain in the web browser’s cache.
