Access the Switch
By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or router that
functions as a DHCP server) in your network. You can access the switch from a
Windows-based computer, from a Mac, or from a mobile device on which the
NETGEAR Insight app is installed.
For information about accessing the switch from Mac, see the user manual,

You can also access the switch through the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility,
which you can download by visiting

Access the Switch From the NETGEAR Insight Mobile App
During initial setup, you must connect the switch to a WiFi network so that you
can access the switch from your mobile device with a local WiFi connection.

Insight, and download the app.
2. Connect your mobile device to the WiFi network of the access point that is
connected to the switch.

and follow the onscreen instructions.

LOG IN
and enter your credentials.
6. Name your network and specify a device admin password that applies to all
devices that you add to this network.

button.

The NETGEAR Insight app discovers the switch and registers it on the network
