Hardware Overview of the Access
Point/Router
The NETGEAR AC2000 802.11ac Wireless Access Point/Router Model WAC124, in this
manual referred to as the access point/router, supports dual-band concurrent operation
at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with combined throughput of 2000 Mbps (300 Mbps at 2.4 GHz
and 1700 Mbps at 5 GHz). The access point/router is designed to function in a small
office network or home network.
You can use the access point/router in access point mode with its router features
disabled, connected to an existing router in your network. You can also use the access
point/router in router mode with its router features enabled, directly connected to an
Internet modem.
The chapter contains the following sections:
• Top panel with LEDs
• Back panel with ports, buttons, and a power connector
• Position the antennas for best WiFi performance
• Access point/router label
Important: By default, the access point/router is in access point mode with its DHCP
client enabled and must get an IP address from another router in your network. For the
initial log-in process, also called single sign-on (SSO), the access point/router must
connect to the Internet and you must log in with a MyNETGEAR account. (You can create
an account during the log-in process.) After you complete the initial log-in process, you
can change the mode to router mode and also change the settings offline.
