Enable Or Disable Client Isolation For A Wifi Network - NETGEAR WAC510 User Manual

Insight Managed Smart Cloud Wireless Access Point WAC510 User Manual

Enable or disable client isolation for a WiFi network

By default, client isolation is disabled for a WiFi network (SSID or VAP), allowing
communication between WiFi clients that are associated with the same or different WiFi
networks on the access point. For additional security, you can enable client isolation so
that clients that are associated with the same or different WiFi networks cannot
communicate with each other, except for communication over the Internet, which remains
possible.
To enable or disable client isolation for 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
26).
