8. If you made changes, make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the network
with its new settings.
If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:
• If your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is already connected to another
WiFi network in your area, disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to
the correct WiFi network. Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first
open network without WiFi security that they discover.
• If your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is trying to connect to your
network with its old settings (before you changed the settings), update the WiFi
network selection in your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to match the
current settings for your network.
• Does your WiFi device display as a connected client? (See Display client
distribution, connected clients, and client trends on page 185.) If it does, it is
connected to the network.
• Are you using the correct WiFi network name (SSID) and password?
Remove a WiFi network
You can remove a custom WiFi network (SSID or VAP) that you no longer need. You
cannot remove the default WiFi network. The default WiFi network is the SSID that you
renamed and for which you set a new passphrase when you initially connected to the
access point. This SSID is displayed as SSID1 in the local browser UI.
To remove a WiFi network:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 42.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 24.
