Manage the maximum number of clients for
a radio
The number of clients that are allowed to associate with a radio affects the reliability
and throughput of the WiFi connection. A smaller number can increase the reliability
and throughput and a large number can decrease the reliability and throughput.
By default, the 2.4 GHz radio allows up to 128 client associations, while the 5 GHz radio
allows up to 200 client associations. You can specify a lower number of clients. If the
number of associated clients exceeds the maximum number that you specify, the radio
rejects new client associations until the number drops below that maximum number.
To manage the maximum number of clients for a radio:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 42.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 24.
