Register and access the switch with your
NETGEAR account
You only need to register and access the switch local browser interface
once
with your
NETGEAR account. After you do so, you can access the local browser interface with the local
device password, or if you previously added the switch to an Insight network, with the Insight
network password.
For initial registration and access with your NETGEAR account, the switch must be
connected to the Internet so that it can communicate with a NETGEAR server.
If you do not own a free NETGEAR account, you can create one during the registration
process.
To register and access the switch online over the local browser interface with your
NETGEAR account:
1.
Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2.
Launch a web browser.
3.
In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
