Set an existing domain name
You can specify an existing fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the access point so
that you can access the access point by using a domain name instead of an IP address.
The FQDN must be a domain name that is registered with a Domain Name System
(DNS) provider.
The following are the requirements for the FQDN:
•
The length can be from 1 to 64 characters.
•
Alphanumeric characters are allowed (a–z and 1–9)
•
A dot (.) and a hyphen (-) are allowed but the name cannot start with either.
An example is
myap01-firstfloor-myorganization.com
.
To set an existing FQDN:
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 44.
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 26.
