This section describes how to connect to the access point for the first time over WiFi using a WiFi-enabled
computer or mobile device (without using the NETGEAR Insight app).
To connect to the access point over WiFi using a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device:
1. From your computer or mobile device, connect over WiFi to the access point's default WiFi network.
The default SSID is on the access point label on the bottom of the access point and is shown in the
format NETGEARxxxxxx-SETUP, where xxxxxx is the last six hexadecimal digits of the access point's
MAC address. The default password is sharedsecret.
2. On the computer or mobile device, open a web browser and, in the address bar, enter
www.routerlogin.net (or www.aplogin.net).
Note You can use www.routerlogin.net (and www.aplogin.net) only during initial setup of
the access point.
The Day Zero Easy Setup page displays.
In the address bar, www.routerlogin.net (or www.aplogin.net) is replaced by the IP address that is
assigned to the access point by the DHCP server in your network.
3. Write down the IP address of the access point.
4. Select the Standalone radio button.
