Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX3000 Access Point Model WAX618
Note: If you enable Energy Efficiency Mode, the access point cannot detect neighbor
APs in the 5 GHz radio band. To use neighbor AP detection in the 5 GHz radio band,
first disable Energy Efficiency Mode. For more information, see Manage the Energy
Efficiency Mode on page 175.
Enable neighbor access point detection and move access
points to the Known AP List
The access point can detect neighbor access points (APs) and lets you classify them as
known APs. After you enable neighbor AP detection, the access point maintains a list
of access points it detects in the area. Initially all detected access points are displayed
in the Unknown AP List. You can manually move access points from the Unknown AP
List to the Known AP List.
By default neighbor access point detection is disabled.
To enable neighbor access point detection and move detected access points to
the Known AP List:
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
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 24.
The Dashboard page displays.
