by the DHCP (or DHCPv6) server in your network.
To determine the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the AirBridge, use 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.
• IP network scanner. Use an IP network scanner to scan for the IP address that is
assigned to the AirBridge.
• NETGEAR Insight app. Use the NETGEAR Insight app to discover the IP address
that is assigned to the AirBridge. For more information, see Connect over WiFi using
the NETGEAR Insight App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 13.

Manage the STP settings

By default, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is enabled on the AirBridge.
You can change the settings for STP, or disabled it entirely. However, we recommend
that you keep STP enabled because it helps to prevent network loops.
To manage the STP settings:
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.
