Manage the advanced WiFi settings for the radios
The advanced WiFi settings for the radios apply to all WiFi networks (VAPs or SSIDs).
You can specify the radio settings for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios individually. For
information about the basic radio settings, see Manage the basic settings for the radios
on page 76.
A radio must be turned on for you to specify the settings. For more information about
turning a radio on, see Turn a radio on or off on page 80.
To manage the advanced WiFi settings for the radios:
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
