a WiFi client

and display the results of the speed test. The maximum WiFi speed that the AP can
measure is 100 Mbps. You can also use this option to determine the general WiFi network
performance.
You can find the IP addresses of WiFi clients on the Connection page (see Display the

more information about the management WiFi network, see Management WiFi
network on page 43.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see kb.netgear.com/000062980.
