Enable link aggregation for the LAN 2 port

You can set up a static link aggregation connection between the access point and a
switch by doing the following:
1. On the switch, configure static link aggregation on the two Ethernet ports that you
intend to use for the LAG connection to the access point.
CAUTION: To prevent a network loop, configure the switch ports before connecting
them to the access point ports.
2. Connect the two Ethernet ports on the switch to the LAN 1 port and the LAN 2 port
on the access point.
To enable the link aggregation capability on the access point:
1. Launch 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 displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 42.
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 Cloud Portal or Insight app, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
