AP to Ethernet non-PoE Switch

Note: For information about the setup option with a power adapter, see the

NETGEAR Insight Managed Smart Cloud Wireless Access Point (WAC505) User Manual, which you can download by visiting www.netgear.com/support.

Before mounting the access point in a high location, ﬁrst set up, conﬁgure, and test the access point to verify WiFi network connectivity. Make sure that you are running the latest ﬁrmware version on your device.

¾ To set up the access point with a PoE switch:

Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the access point to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch that is connected to your network or router that is, in turn, connected to the Internet. (The LAN port on the access point is a PoE Ethernet port.)

Aer you connect the access point to the PoE switch, the Power LED of the access point lights solid amber. Aer about one minute, the Power LED turns solid green and the access point is ready for you to perform the initial conﬁguration (see Configure the Access Point).

mobile device, go to the app store. Search for NETGEAR Insight, and download the app.

Insight

Open the NETGEAR Insight app and log in to your existing NETGEAR account or create a new account to log in with. Then, follow the prompts in the NETGEAR Insight app to discover and register the access point on the network so that you can conﬁgure and manage the access point. For more information on the NETGEAR Insight app, see the NETGEAR knowledge base articles at netgear.com/support.

• Method 2: Log in over WiFi. From your computer or mobile device,

connect over WiFi to the access point’s default WiFi network (SSID). The default SSID is on the access point label on the bottom of the access point and is shown in the format NETGEARxxxxxx-SETUP. The default password is sharedsecret.

Open a web browser. In the address bar, enter www.routerlogin.net (or www.aplogin.net), which you can use only during the initial setup of the access point.

The Day Zero Easy Setup page displays. Select the Management Mode Standalone radio button. The page adjusts so that you can specify the basic settings, including

the country of operation

, time zone, the password to log in to the access point, and the WiFi network name (SSID) and password to connect to the WiFi network.

Aer you save these basic settings, the Day Zero Easy Setup page no longer displays when you log in.

• Method 3: Log in over Ethernet. Open a web browser from a

computer that is connected to the same Ethernet subnet as the access point or to the access point’s LAN port directly through an Ethernet cable.

In the address bar, enter the IP address of the access point.

Note: If the access point is connected to a network that includes a DHCP

server (or router that functions as a DHCP server), you can determine the IP address by using an IP network scanner. Otherwise, the default IP address of the access point is 192.168.0.100.

The Day Zero Easy Setup page displays. Select the Management Mode Standalone radio button. The page adjusts so that you can specify the basic settings, including

the country of operation

, time zone, the password to log in to the

access point, and the WiFi network name (SSID) and password to connect to the WiFi network.

Aer you save these basic settings, the Day Zero Easy Setup page no longer displays when you log in.

1. Make sure that the country is set to the location where the device is operating. You are responsible for complying within the local, regional, and national regulations set for channels, power levels, and frequency ranges.

2. If you use an Ethernet cable from your computer to the access point’s LAN port and the access point functions with its default IP address, make sure that the IP address of your computer is in the

192.168.0.x subnet, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway IP address of

192.168.0.1.
