Ap Mode Only: Specify An Existing Domain Name - NETGEAR WAC510 User Manual

Insight Managed Smart Cloud Wireless Access Point WAC510 User Manual
AP mode only: Specify an existing domain
name
You can specify an existing fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the access point so
that you can access the access point by using a domain name instead of an IP address.
The FQDN must be a domain name that is registered with a Domain Name System
(DNS) provider.
The following are the requirements for the FQDN:
• The length can be from 1 to 64 characters.
• Alphanumeric characters are allowed (a–z and 1–9)
• A dot (.) and a hyphen (-) are allowed but the name cannot start with either.
An example is myap01_firstfloor_myorhanization.com.
To specify a FQDN:
1. Open 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 opens.
If your browser does not open the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 41.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. 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 app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page
26).
