Insight Managed WiFi 6 AX3000 Access Point Model WAX618
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 to 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. 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.
