•
Make sure that you log in using http://www.routerlogin.net (which, in router mode,
is the same as 192.168.1.1).
•
Make sure that the IP address of your computer or mobile device is on the same
subnet as the LAN subnet of the AP. If you are using the default addressing scheme,
your device’s address is in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Most computers
and mobile devices function as DHCP clients. If your computer or mobile device
does not, enable its DHCP client so that is can obtain an IP address automatically
using DHCP.
Note: Some versions of Windows and Mac OS generate and assign an IP address
if a device cannot reach a DHCP server. These autogenerated addresses are in the
range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from
the device to the AP and reboot your device.

You cannot log in to the AP [access point mode]
If the AP is in access point mode and you are unable to log in to its local browser UI
from a computer or mobile device, check the following:
•
Make sure that the yellow Internet port on the AP is connected to the Internet through
an existing router in your network (or through a switch or hub that is connected to
the router). The Internet LED must light solid green or blinking green.
•
Make sure that the computer or mobile device that you are using is connected to
the AP or the same network as the AP.
•
Check the Ethernet or WiFi connection between your computer or mobile device
and the AP:
-
Connect over Ethernet directly to the AP. If you connect the LAN port on your
computer directly to the AP, check the Ethernet cable between the computer
and the LAN port on the AP. (Do not connect your computer to the yellow Internet
port on the AP.)
-
Connect over WiFi. If you are using a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device,
check the WiFi connection between the computer or device and the AP. If you
did not change the SSID, the AP’s default SSID is “NETGEARXXXXXX”, where
XXXXXX represents the last six characters of the AP’s MAC address, as printed
