1.  Connect the Ethernet cable that came in the package to one of the AP’s Ethernet 

ports.
You can use any of the four LAN ports on the AP.

2.  Connect the other end of the cable to a LAN port on your router.

NOTE: 

Do 

not

 connect the AP to your modem. The AP must connect to your router.

The AP uses a DHCP client that is enabled by default. Almost any router functions 
as a DHCP server, allowing the AP to receive an IP address from the router.

3.  Power on the AP by pressing the 

Power On/Off

 button.

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.
