Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX1800 Dual Band Access Point WAX610 User Manual
By default, multicast and broadcast rate limiting is enabled to improve the overall
network performance by limiting the number of packets that are transmitted across the
network. By default, the setting is 50 (the maximum possible value), which specifies a
maximum rate limit of 50 packets per second. You can lower this number.
To manage the broadcast and multicast settings for a radio:
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 37.
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 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 page 22.
