AC2000 802.11ac Wireless Access Point/Router WAC124 Router mode: You cannot log in to the access point/router If the access point/router is in router mode and you are unable to log in to its local browser interface from a computer or mobile device on the access point/router network, check the following: • Make sure that you successfully completed the initial log-in process in access point mode before you try to log in to the access point/router in router mode. Only after you complete the initial log-in process in access point mode (see Connect the access point/router to your existing router and log in for the first time on page 17), can you change the mode to router mode and connect the access point/router to an Internet modem. • Check the Ethernet or WiFi connection between your computer or mobile device and the access point/router: - Connect over Ethernet directly to the access point/router. If you connect the LAN port on your computer directly to the access point/router, check the Ethernet cable between the computer and the LAN port on the access point/router. (Do not connect your computer to the yellow Internet port on the access point/router.) - Connect over WiFi. If you are using a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, check the WiFi connection between the computer or device and the access point/router. The access point/router's default SSID is NETGEAR-1 and the default passphrase is sharedsecret. • Make sure that you are using the correct login information. If the access point/router is connected to the Internet, you must log in with your MyNETGEAR account. Only after you successfully completed the initial log-in process and only if the access point/router is not connected to the Internet, can you use the local login default user name (admin) and password (password). The user name and password are case-sensitive. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter this information. • Make sure that you log in using http://www.routerlogin.net (which, in router mode, is the same as 192.168.0.100). • Make sure that the IP address of your computer or mobile device is on the same subnet as the LAN subnet of the access point/router. If you are using the default addressing scheme, your device's address is in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. Most computers and mobile devices function as DHCP clients. If your computer or mobile device does not, enable its DHCP client so that is can obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP. Diagnostics and 247 Troubleshooting User Manual
