The wireless controller searches for NETGEAR products on the LAN based on MAC
address and then identifies which products are supported access point models. A
progress bar show the progress of the discovery process.
When the discovery process is finished, the total number of access points is displayed
and the table shows the access points that were discovered. For each access point, the
table includes the model number, IP address, MAC address, and site.

To find an individual access point, enter information in the Search field.

To make sure that all the access points are listed, review the discovery results.
The effectiveness of the discovery process depends in part on how the access points on
your LAN are set up. If each access point is configured with a unique IP address and is
running current firmware, discovery is simple.
If the discovery results are not what you expect, check the following:
•
Access points that the wireless controller already manages are not in the discovery
list.
To view the Managed AP List, select Access Point > Managed AP List.
•
Make sure that a DHCP server is available in the network or on the wireless
controller.
For information about the wireless controller's DHCP server, see
Server
on page 106.
•
If more than one access point is assigned the same IP address, only one of them is
discovered at a time.
You must add the access point to the managed list, change its IP address, and run
discovery again to discover the next access point with that IP address.

To run the discovery process again, click the Restart button.
