User WiFi networks
The AP supports four user WiFi networks that can broadcast on a single band or both
radio bands. These four networks are in addition to the management WiFi network.
The first time that you logged in to the AP, you were required to change the name and
WiFi password of the first user WiFi network, and at that time, the AP enabled the first
user WiFi network.
The second, third, and fourth user WiFi networks remain disabled until you manually
enable and configure them.
Set up or change a user WiFi network with WPA2 or WPA3
personal security
The type of WPA personal security (WPA2, WPA3, or a combination of both) that you
select must depend on the types of devices in your WiFi network and the level of security
that your environment requires. All types of WPA personal security function with a WiFi
password. A WiFi client can only access the WiFi network with the correct WiFi password.
By default, the WiFi security option for a user WiFi network is WPA2 personal security.
This is also the default security option for the first user WiFi network.
To change the settings for an active user WiFi network or enable and configure a
user WiFi network that is secured with WPA2 or WPA3 personal security:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or tablet that is directly connected over WiFi
to the AP or connected to the same network as the AP.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AP.
If you are directly connected to the management WiFi network, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login page displays.
If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the AP on page 24. For
more information about the management WiFi network, see Management WiFi
network on page 43.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see kb.netgear.com/000062980.
3. Enter the AP login password and click the LOGIN button.
The AP login password is the one that you specified the first time you logged in to
the AP. The password is case-sensitive.
The Dashboard page displays.
