security, enter a custom port number for the remote router web interface. Choose
a number from 1024 to 65535, but do not use the number of any common service
port. The default is 8443, which is a common alternate for HTTP.

Your settings are saved.
Use remote access
To use remote access:
1. Launch a web browser on a computer that is not on your home network.
2. Type your router's WAN IP address into your browser's address or location field
followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number.
For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number
8443, enter http://134.177.0.123:8443 in your browser.

The setup process for the NETGEAR Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 System involves syncing the satellite routers with the main router. Follow these steps:
1. Sync the Satellite: Ensure your satellite router is powered on and within range of the main router. The router should automatically detect and sync with the satellite.

3. Personalize Settings: Use your existing Wi-Fi network name and password for seamless device connection.
4. Firmware Update: If a new firmware version is available, update it to ensure the latest security and performance improvements.
5. Placement: Position satellites halfway between the main router and areas with weak Wi-Fi signals to optimize coverage.
If you need the system to work as access points, additional configuration may be required. Contact NETGEAR support for guidance on setting up the system in access point mode.
