Set up a click-through captive portal for a WiFi network

A click-through captive portal is a basic portal for which the splash page is stored on
the access point, that is, it is not an external captive portal. Use a click-through captive
portal to welcome or instruct WiFi users and limit their sessions. You can require users
to agree to an end user license agreement (EULA) and redirect them a specific website.
A click-through captive portal is specific to the WiFi network (SSID) on which you set it
up.
To set up a click-through captive portal for a WiFi network:
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).
