Discover the IP address of the switch

An IP address is required to configure your switch. The switch gets an IP address from a 
DHCP server (such as your router) by default. If your switch is not connected to a DHCP 
server, use the default IP address: 192.168.0.239. If the switch is connected to a WiFi 
router or access point, you can use the NETGEAR Insight app to discover the IP address of 
the switch.

1.  Connect your mobile device to the same WiFi network as the switch.
2.  Make sure that the network connects to the Internet.
3.  Launch the NETGEAR Insight app from your mobile device.
4.  Log in to your account.

The current IP address of the switch displays.

Configure the switch with a static IP address

Note: 

If your network uses a DHCP server, this section does not apply

If you are using static IP addresses in your network, configure the switch IP 
address before you connect the switch to a network.
