Install the Access Point in Your Network and Access It for Initial Configuration
Description
From the menu, select the country and region in which the access point is operating.
Note Make sure that the country is set to the location where the device
is operating. You are responsible for complying with the local,
regional, and national regulations that are set for channels, power
levels, and frequency ranges.
Note It might not be legal to operate the access point in a region other
than the regions listed in the menu. If your country or region is
not listed, check with your local government agency.
From the menu, select the time zone for the country and region in which the access
point is operating.
By default, the DHCP client of the access point allows the access point to receive
an IP address from a DHCP server (or router that functions as a DHCP server) in
your network.
To set up the access point with a static (fixed) IP address, do the following:
a. Select the Disable radio button.
Additional fields display.
b. Specify the IP address, IP subnet mask, IP address of the default gateway,
and IP address of the DNS server.
As an option, enter a new system name for the access point. The name must
contain alphanumeric characters, must contain at least one alphabetical character,
cannot be longer than 15 characters, and can contain hyphens but cannot start
or end with a hyphen.
By default, the system name is Netgearxxxxxx, in which xxxxxx represents the
last six hexadecimal digits of the access point's MAC address.
Enter a new admin password with a minimum of 6 characters and a maximum of
32 characters.
The ideal password contains no English dictionary words and contains uppercase
and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. However, do not include quotation
marks (") in the password.
Write down and save the password for future use.
Note The admin password is the password that you use to log in to
the access point's local browser interface. It is not the password
that you use for WiFi access.
Enter exactly the same password that you entered in the AP Login New Password
field.
