Option 3: Temporarily connect directly over WiFi and ping the access point. If
you already completed the initial log-in, temporarily connect a mobile device directly
over WiFi to the access point and send a ping to https://www.aplogin.net.
How to send a ping depends on mobile device.
On your mobile device, the field with the ping results displays the IP address that is
assigned to the access point.

Option 4: Use the NETGEAR Insight mobile app. To use the NETGEAR Insight
mobile app to discover the IP address of the access point in your network, do the
following:
1. On your iOS or Android mobile device, go to the app store, search for NETGEAR
Insight, and download and install the app.
2. Connect your mobile device to the access point WiFi network.
3. Open the NETGEAR Insight mobile app.
4. Tap LOG IN to log in to your NETGEAR account.
After you log in to your account, the IP address of the access point displays in
the device list.

Option 5: Access your existing router or DHCP server. Access the DHCP server
information of your existing router, modem (if the modem functions as a DHCP
server), or dedicated DHCP server to see the devices that are connected to it,
including the access point. The IP address that is assigned to the access point is
listed.
•
Option 6: Use a third-party IP scanner. Use an IP scanner application (they are
available free of charge on the Internet) in the network of your existing router. The
IP scanner results include the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
If you made a direct connection to the access point, you can now terminate that
connection. Connect your computer or mobile device to the same network as the access
point, and use the discovered IP address to log in to the access point.
Find the IP address of the access point with
the NETGEAR Insight mobile app
The NETGEAR Insight mobile app lets you discover the access point in your network.
Note: Although you can use the NETGEAR Insight mobile app to register the access
point, the access point is already registered automatically after the initial log-in process.
