Specify A Static Ipv4 Address For The Airbridge - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Specify a static IPv4 address for the AirBridge

By default, the DHCP client of the AirBridge is enabled, allowing a DHCP server (usually,
a router) in your network to assign an IPv4 address to the AirBridge. You can disable
the DHCP client and specify static (fixed) IP address settings for the AirBridge.
To specify static IPv4 address settings for the AirBridge:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge.
The login page displays.
If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the AirBridge after initial setup on page 31.
3. Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password.
The user name is admin. The local device password is the one that you specified
the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously managed the AirBridge through the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight
Cloud portal, enter the Insight network password for the Insight network location to
which the AirBridge was assigned (see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight
App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 13).
The Device Status page displays the Device Information section and other sections.
4. Under Network, select Basic.
The page that displays shows the IPv4 Settings, IPv6 Settings, and Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) Settings sections.
5. In the IPv4 Settings section, select the Static IP radio button.
The IPv4 address fields display.
6. Specify the static IPv4 address, subnet mask, gateway IPv4 address, and primary and
secondary DNS addresses.
7. Click the Save button.
Your settings are saved to be applied later.
A pop-up window opens. The window shows the number of changes to be applied.
You can either make more changes (also on other pages) or apply the changes now.
8. To apply the changes now, click the Apply button in the pop-up window.
Your changes are applied immediately. If the WiFi link must be reestablished, the
page displays the number of seconds before the AirBridge is back online.
