13. Make sure that you can connect to the new WiFi network.
If you cannot connect to the new WiFi network, check the following:
• If your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is already connected to another
WiFi network in your area, disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to
the WiFi network that the access point provides. Some WiFi devices automatically
connect to the first open network without WiFi security that they discover.
• If your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is trying to connect to your
network with its old settings (before you changed the settings), update the WiFi
network selection in your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to match the
current settings for your network.
• Does your WiFi device display as a connected client? (See View client distribution,
connected clients, and client trends on page 197.) If it does, it is connected to the
network.
• Are you using the correct WiFi network name (SSID) and password?

You can view or change the settings of the default WiFi network (SSID or VAP) or any
custom WiFi network.
To view or change the settings of a WiFi network:
1. Open 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 opens.
If your browser does not open the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 41.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. 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 app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page
