Change The System Name Of The Airbridge - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Change the system name of the AirBridge

The system name is also referred to as the AP name or device name. It is the AirBridge
name that displays in the network. By default, the system name is WBC502, which is the
AirBridge's model number. You can change this name.
To change the name of 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 Wireless.
The Wireless Settings page displays.
5. In the AP Name field, enter a new name.
The name must contain alphanumeric characters, cannot be longer than 15 characters,
and cannot contains spaces. The name can contain hyphens, but cannot start or end
with a hyphen.
6. 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.
7. 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.
