Change The Management Mode To Netgear Insight Mode Or Standalone Mode - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Change the management mode to
NETGEAR Insight Mode or Standalone Mode
The AirBridge can function in one of the following management modes:
• NETGEAR Insight Mode. You can manage the AirBridge remotely from a mobile
device on which the NETGEAR Insight app is installed or, if you are an Insight Premium
or Insight Pro subscriber, through the Insight Cloud portal. The NETGEAR Insight
Mode is the default management mode. In this mode, you can connect to the
AirBridge over the local browser UI (which you normally use in the Standalone Mode),
but most fields, menus, and buttons are masked out. For information about the
Insight app and Insight Cloud portal, visit insight.netgear.com and see the NETGEAR
knowledge base at netgear.com/support/product/insight.aspx.
IMPORTANT: When you change the management mode from Standalone Mode
to NETGEAR Insight Mode, the Insight cloud-based management platform pushes
the latest Insight configuration to the AirBridge.
• Standalone Mode. You can manage the AirBridge locally from a WiFi or wired
device through the local browser UI. In this mode, the AirBridge functions as a
standalone device and is not connected to the Insight cloud-based management
platform.
IMPORTANT: If you first add the AirBridge to a NETGEAR Insight network location
and manage the AirBridge through the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal and then
you change the management mode to Standalone Mode, you might need to continue
to use the Insight network password for the Insight network location to access the
local browser UI until you manually change the local device password on the
AirBridge.
To change the management mode to NETGEAR Insight Mode or Standalone 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.
