Manage the 802.11ax mode for the 2.4 GHz
radio
By default, the 802.11ax mode is enabled on the AP. WiFi 6 (802.11ax) is backward
compatible with earlier WiFi standards. However, if your network includes many legacy
devices that do not support WiFi 6, in some unlikely situations, compatibility problems
could occur. To mitigate such situations, NETGEAR gives you the option to disable the
802.11ax mode for the 2.4 GHz radio.
To manage the 802.11ax mode for the 2.4 GHz radio:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or tablet that is directly connected over WiFi
to the AP or connected to the same network as the AP.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AP.
If you are directly connected to the management WiFi network, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login page displays.
If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the AP on page 24. For
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.
3. Enter the AP login password and click the LOGIN button.
The AP login password is the one that you specified the first time you logged in to
the AP. The password is case-sensitive.
