Log in to the access point/router when it is
not connected to the Internet
After you connected to the access point/router and logged in for the first time (see
Connect the access point/router to your existing router and log in for the first time on
page 17), you can log in again, even if the access point/router is not connected to the
Internet. In such a situation, use the local login admin user name and default password,
which are different from the registered email address and password for your NETGEAR
account.
Note: Use the registered email address and password for your NETGEAR account only
when the access point/router is connected to the Internet (see Log in to the access
point/router when it is connected to the Internet on page 26).
To log in to the access point/router when it is not connected to the Internet:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected either
directly to the access point/router network or to the same network as the access
point/router.
A direct connection to the access point/router network, which is the most common
type of setup, can be through WiFi or over Ethernet:
•
WiFi. A connection from a computer or mobile device to a WiFi network on the
access point/router.
•
Ethernet. A connection from a computer over an Ethernet cable to one of the
LAN ports on the access point/router, either with or without a switch or hub
between the computer and the access point/router.
2. Enter the IP address that was assigned to the access point/router by your existing
router during the setup process.
If you do no know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point/router
on page 29.
The Sign-In page displays. Because the access point/router is not connected to the
Internet, you are prompted to sign in with the local login credentials.
3.
If you did not yet change the default password, enter admin as the user name and
password as the password.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
For information about how to change the password for local login, see Change the
local login admin password on page 32.
