Change Or Configure A New 5 Ghz Ssid For A Master Or Access Point - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Change or configure a new 5 GHz SSID for a master or
access point
Use this task if the selection from the Operation Mode menu is AirBridge Master or
Access Point.
When you performed the initial configuration on the Day Zero Easy Setup page, you
were required to change the name of the default 5 GHz SSID. If you kept WPA2-PSK as
the WiFi security, you were also required to change the passphrase.
If the AirBridge mode is enabled, a single 5 GHz SSID only is supported. You can change
this default 5 GHz SSID again.
If the AirBridge mode is disabled, four 5 GHz SSIDs are available for a master, and eight
5 GHz SSIDs are available for an access point. In that situation, you can enable and
configure a new 5 GHz SSID, or change such a 5 GHz SSID if you previously enabled it.
To change a 5 GHz SSID or enable and configure a new 5 GHz SSID for a master or
access point:
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.
If the AirBridge mode is enabled, a single 5 GHz SSID only is supported.
If the AirBridge mode is disabled, four 5 GHz SSIDs are available for a master, and
eight 5 GHz SSIDs are available for an access point.
