9. 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

Manage the settings for the 2.4 GHz
management SSID
You can use the 2.4 GHz management SSID only to access the local browser UI of the
AirBridge from a WiFi device for management purposes.
The 2.4 GHz SSID cannot be used for backhaul WiFi connections or for regular WiFi
clients connections to the AirBridge. For these types of connections, use a 5 GHz SSID.
Note: The SSID (the name of the management WiFi network) is
NETGEARXXXXXX-SETUP, in which XXXXXX represents the last six digits of the MAC
address of the LAN interface of the AirBridge. You cannot change this name.

Change the passphrase for the 2.4 GHz management SSID

Other than the passphrase (WiFi password or network key), you cannot change the
settings for the 2.4 GHz management SSID.
When you performed the initial configuration on the Day Zero Easy Setup page, you
were required to change the passphrase for the 2.4 GHz management SSID. You can
change the passphrase again.
To change the passphrase for the 2.4 GHz management SSID:
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).
