Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX3000 Access Point Model WAX618
Manage the advanced WiFi settings for the
radios
The advanced WiFi settings for the radios apply to all WiFi networks (VAPs or SSIDs).
Although these settings work fine for most network environments and it is unlikely that
you need to change them, you can change the radio settings, and you can do so for the
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios individually.
CAUTION: We recommend that you change these advanced WiFi settings only if you
fully understand the consequences. Incorrect configuration might cause connectivity
problems for devices trying to connect to the access point.
A radio must be turned on for you to change the settings. For more information about
turning a radio on, see Turn a radio on or off on page 87.
To manage the advanced WiFi settings for the radios:
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.
