9. If the Dashboard does not display automatically, do the following:
a. Take one of the following actions:
• If you assigned a static IP address to the access point, enter the IP address
that you specified in Step 6 in the address bar of the web browser.
• If you did not assign a static IP address, reenter the IP address that is displayed
in the address bar of the web browser. If that does not work, write down the
IP address, close the web browser, launch the web browser again, and then
reenter the IP address in the address bar of the web browser.
• If you did not assign a static IP address and you closed the page so that you
cannot see the IP address of the access point, use an IP scanner tool, use a
network discovery tool, or access the DHCP server to discover the IP address
of the access point in your network.
Note: You can also use the NETGEAR Insight app to discover the IP address
that is assigned to the access point. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 25.
Then, launch a browser and enter the IP address in the address bar of the
web browser.
Your browser might display a security warning because of the self-signed
certificate on the access point, which is expected behavior. 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 43.
A login window displays.

for your network environment.
