- Multiple 5 GHz SSIDs. Multiple 5 GHz SSIDs can support satellites, client bridges,
and individual WiFi clients.
- Individual WiFi clients supported. Individual WiFi clients can connect to the
AirBridge.
- Any access point as link partner. Any access point, including third-party access
points, can establish a WiFi connection with an AirBridge.
By default, the AirBridge mode is enabled, which is the setting that we recommend for
a master-to-satellite setup. Depending on your network situation, your WiFi requirements,
and your understanding of the consequences, you can disable the AirBridge mode.
CAUTION: The behavior of the AirBridge changes when you disable the AirBridge
mode. Change the AirBridge mode only if you understand the consequences.
To change the AirBridge mode:
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.
