Insight app, you can change the preferred band for the backhaul connection.
To use the NETGEAR Insight app to connect the extender access point to a root
access point in an existing WiFi network:
1.
For a reliable WiFi connection, place the extender access point less than 25 feet (7.5
m), in a line of sight with minimal obstacles from the closest root access point.
2. Connect the extender access point to a power source.
The Power/Cloud LED of the extender access point lights amber and then lights
green.
IMPORTANT: To prevent a network loop, connect the extender access point to a
PoE+ switch that is not connected to the same network as the root access point or
to the Internet. You can also use an optional power adapter.
3. Connect your smartphone to the existing WiFi network that includes one or more
root access points.
4. Launch the Insight app and sign in to your NETGEAR account.
In most situations, the Insight app detects the extender access point automatically.
This process might take a few minutes.
