and assign a lower priority to another satellite, causing the satellite to be assigned a
smaller number of time slots by the master.
You can assign a high, middle, or low satellite priority. The high priority receives 10
times as much time as the low priority. The middle priority receives 5 times as much
time as the low priority. (The relationship is 10:5:1.)
As a general guideline, give a higher priority to a satellite with a good WiFi connection
to the master (that is, a high-quality signal between the devices) and a lower priority to
a satellite with a poor WiFi connection to the master. A higher satellite priority means
that the satellite can perform better than a satellite with a lower satellite priority.
To manage the satellite priority:
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. From the Satellite Priority menu, select High, Middle, or Low.
The default selection is High.
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.
