You Cannot Log In To The Airbridge Over A Lan Connection - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

If the AirBridge's SSID broadcast is disabled, the WiFi network name is hidden and
does not display in your WiFi client's scanning list. To connect to a hidden network,
you must enter the network name and the WiFi password. For more information
about the SSID broadcast, see Change or configure a new 5 GHz SSID for a master
or access point on page 62.
• Make sure that the WiFi client does not use a static IP address but is configured to
receive an IP address automatically with DHCP. (For most devices, DHCP is the default
setting.)
• Make sure that the WiFi client is not inadvertently blocked on the 5 GHz SSID of the
master or access point. For more information, see Set up a MAC filter for a 5 GHz SSID
on page 89.
• Make sure that a WiFi on/off schedule is not active on the 5 GHz SSID of the master
or access point. For more information, see Set up a WiFi on/off schedule for a
5 GHz SSID on page 87.
You cannot log in to the AirBridge over a
LAN connection
If you are unable to log in to the AirBridge from a computer on your local network and
use the AirBridge's local browser UI, check the following:
• If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet cable between
the computer and the AirBridge.
• Make sure that the IP address of your computer is in the same subnet as the AirBridge.
If you disabled the AirBridge's DHCP client and configured a fixed (static) IP address
when you connected the AirBridge to your network (see Specify a static IPv4 address
for the AirBridge on page 46), change the IP address and subnet mask on your
computer to so that the IP addresses of your computer and the AirBridge are in the
same IP subnet.
• If the AirBridge is connected to a network with a DHCP server and you do not know
the IP address, determine the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the
AirBridge by using one of the following methods:
- Windows-based computer. If you use a Windows-based computer, open
Windows Explorer, and click the Network link. If prompted, enable the Network
Discovery feature. Under Network Infrastructure, locate the WBC502 (assuming
that you did not change the system name), and double-click WBC502.
- DHCP server. Access the DHCP server in your network and open the page the
shows the network connections.
