Insight Managed Smart Cloud Wireless Access Point AC3000 WAC540 User Manual Connect over Ethernet using a computer connected to the same network The following procedure assumes that your network includes a DHCP server (or router that functions as a DHCP server) and that the access point and the computer are on the same network. By default, the access point functions as a DHCP client. If you want to set up the access point with a static (fixed) IP address, see Connect over Ethernet using a directly connected computer on page 36. To connect to the access point using a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point: 1. To determine the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the access point, access the DHCP server or use an IP network scanner. Note: You can also use the NETGEAR Insight app to discover the IP address that is assigned to the access point. For more information, see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 25. 2.
