Sample connections diagram

IMPORTANT:

The access point (AP) provides WiFi and LAN connectivity but is a

bridge and not a router. Connect the AP to a router that is connected to a modem. Do

not

connect the AP directly to a modem such as a DSL or cable modem.

Step 2. Join the AP’s WiFi network

You can connect a WiFi‑enabled computer or mobile device manually or use the Wi‑Fi
Protected Setup (WPS) method.

Manual method

1. On a WiFi‑enabled device, open the software utility that manages your WiFi

connections.
The utility scans for all WiFi networks in your area.

2. Find and select one of the AP’s default WiFi network names (SSIDs), which are

NETGEAR_11N

and

NETGEAR_11AC

.

NOTE:

If you cannot find the SSIDs, press the

WiFi On/Off

button, wait one

minute, and see if the utility displays one or both of the SSIDs.

3. Type the default WiFi passphrase, which is

sharedsecret

.

Your device connects to the AP’s WiFi network.

WPS method

If your WiFi‑enabled device supports Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use WPS to
join the AP’s WiFi network.

For help with the WPS button on your device, check the instructions or online help that
came with that device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.

1. Press the

WPS

button on the back panel of the AP.

2. Within two minutes, on your computer or mobile device, press its physical

WPS

button or click its onscreen

WPS

button.

Your device connects to the AP’s WiFi network.
