B. Congure the AP with the NETGEAR Insight app
1. Connect your mobile device to the AP’s setup SSID (WiFi network name).
The setup SSID is on the AP label on the bottom of the AP and is shown in the
format NETGEARxxxxxx-SETUP, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the AP’s MAC
address. The default WiFi passphrase is sharedsecret.
2. Open the NETGEAR Insight app.
If you do not already have a NETGEAR account, you can create an account now.
3. Enter the email address and password for your account and tap LOG IN.
4. Select an existing network location, or, to create a new network location, tap the
Next button, and then tap OK.
The device admin password that you entered for the new network location replaces
the existing admin password on all devices that you add to the network location.
In most situations, Insight detects the AP automatically, which can take several
minutes.
5. To add the AP to your network location, do one of the following:
• If the AP is automatically detected and listed in the Insight Manageable
Devices section, tap the AP icon, and then tap the ADD DEVICE button.
• If the AP is not automatically detected, or you prefer to use another method to
add the AP, tap the + icon in the top bar, and do one of the following:
- Tap the SCAN BARCODE OR QR CODE button, and then scan the AP’s
code.
- Tap the Enter Serial Number link, and then manually enter the AP’s serial
number.
6. If prompted, name the AP and tap the Next button.
The AP automatically updates to the latest Insight rmware and Insight location
conguration. This might take up to 10 minutes, during which time the AP will
restart.
The AP is now an Insight-managed device that is connected to the Insight cloud-
based management platform. If the Power/Cloud LED was solid green, it now lights
solid blue.
7. Use the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal to congure and manage the AP.
C. Congure the AP as standalone in a web
browser
Use this method if you want to operate the AP in standalone mode.
1. Connect your computer or mobile device to the AP’s setup SSID (WiFi network
name).
The setup SSID is on the AP label on the bottom of the AP and is shown in the
format NETGEARxxxxxx-SETUP, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the AP’s MAC
address. The default WiFi passphrase is sharedsecret.
2. On your computer, launch a web browser and, in the address bar, enter aplogin.
