Connect the access point/router to your
existing router and log in for the first time
By default, the access point/router is in access point mode and functions as a WiFi access
point and LAN switch for Internet access. Basically, in access point mode, the access
point/router functions as a bridge between your existing router and the access
point/router’s LAN and WiFi clients. The access point/router, LAN clients, and WiFi
clients receive an IP address from or through your existing router.
Note: For the initial log-in process, do not directly connect the access point/router to
an Internet modem.
For the initial log-in process, also referred to as single sign-on (SSO), the following are
required:
•
The access point/router must be in its default access point mode.
•
The access point/router must be connected to the Internet through an existing router
in your network.
•
You must log in with a MyNETGEAR account. If you do not have a MyNETGEAR
account, you must create one during the initial log-in process.
If you want, after you complete the initial log-in process, you can change the mode to
router mode and connect the access point/router to an Internet modem (see Use the
access point/router in router mode on page 23). Certain features are supported only
in router mode, for example, routing services such as NAT and the DHCP server.
The easiest way to set up and start using the access point/router is to connect it to your
router, either directly, or through a switch or hub (almost any router functions as a DHCP
server). If your network includes an independent DHCP server, connect the access
point/router to a switch or hub that is connected to the DHCP server.
When you log in to the access point/router, you connect to the local browser–based
management interface, in this manual referred to as the local browser interface.
