To connect to the AP over WiFi using a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device:
1. Connect a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the AP either by using the
manual method or the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) method:
•
Manual method: Do the following:
a. Open the software utility that manages your WiFi connections.
The utility scans for all WiFi networks in your area.
b. Find and select one of the AP’s default WiFi network names (SSIDs), which
are NETGEAR_11N and NETGEAR_11AC.
If you cannot find the SSIDs, press the WiFi On/Off button on the back panel
of the AP, wait one minute, and see if the utility displays one or both of the
SSIDs.
c. Type the default WiFi passphrase, which is sharedsecret.
•
WPS method: Do the following:
a. For help with the WPS button on
your
device, check the instructions or online
help that came with that device. (Some older equipment cannot use WPS.)
b. Press the WPS button on the back panel of the AP.
c. Within two minutes, on your computer or mobile device, press its physical
WPS button or click its onscreen WPS button.
Your computer or mobile device connects to the AP’s WiFi network.
2. Launch a web browser and enter http://www.aplogin.net or
http://www.aplogin.com in the address field.
These URLs are the same as the IP address 192.168.0.100.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the AP user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The initial set up page displays. This page displays only the first time that you log in
to the local browser user interface (UI).
4. Set up a new admin password (also called the local device password) and specify
answers to two security questions (you can choose the questions).
The new admin password replaces the default password password, so we
recommend that you write down your new password or save it in another way.
