Access the AirBridge for initial configuration

Depending on your network situation and preference, you can use different methods
to connect to the AirBridge for initial configuration.
You can access and configure the AirBridge by using the NETGEAR Insight app on an
iOS or Android mobile device, by using the Insight Cloud portal, or by using the local
browser UI. You cannot combine Insight management with management over the local
browser UI. These types of management are mutually exclusive.
The Insight app and the Insight Cloud portal provide ease of access and let you configure
most features that are available on the AirBridge, except for the access point and client
bridge operation modes. However, the local browser UI lets you configure all features
that are available on the AirBridge.
CAUTION: This device must be professionally installed. It is the installer's responsibility
to follow local country regulations, including operations within legal frequency channels,

responsible for illegal wireless operations. For more details, see the device's terms and
conditions.
