Connect Over Wifi Using The Netgear Insight App - NETGEAR WAX610 User Manual

Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX1800 Dual Band Access Point WAX610 User Manual
Note: If your network does not include a DHCP server (or a router that functions as a
DHCP server) and you do not perform the initial configuration of the access point as
described in one of these sections, you can connect only five clients to the access point
and the access point can provide an IP address to only five clients. To prevent this
situation, make sure that you perform the initial configuration of the access point.

Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app

You can install the NETGEAR Insight app on an iOS or Android mobile device and set
up the access point (and perform many other tasks as well).
IMPORTANT: If you add the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
manage the access point through the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal, the admin
password for the access point changes. That is, the Insight network password for that
location replaces the admin password. To access the local browser UI, you must then
enter the Insight network password and not the admin password. If you later decide to
remove the access point from the Insight network location or change the management
mode to Web-browser mode (see Change the management mode to NETGEAR Insight
or Web-browser on page 141), you must continue to use the Insight network password
to access the local browser UI until you manually change the admin password on the
access point.
For more information about the Insight app, visit insight.netgear.com and see the
NETGEAR knowledge base at netgear.com/support/product/insight.aspx.
