Essentials WiFi 6 AX4200 Dual Band Multi-Gig Access Point Model WAX220 Figure 6. Connect directly to the AP over WiFi The previous figure shows the AP connected to a switch, which is connected to a router and the Internet. WiFi devices are directly connected to the AP. To connect directly to the AP over WiFi and log in to the device UI for the first time: 1. Connect your computer or tablet to the AP's management WiFi network (SSID) using one of the following methods: • Scan the QR code: Scan the QR code on the label to connect to the management WiFi network. • Connect manually: The default name of the management WiFi network is printed on the AP's label. The default network key (password) for WiFi access is also on the AP label. The management WiFi network name uses the format "WAX220XXXXXX-CONFIG-ONLY," in which XXXXXX represents the last six characters of the MAC address of the AP's LAN interface. If you cannot get a WiFi connection to the AP, see You cannot connect to the management WiFi network on page 118. 2. Launch a web browser and enter https://www.aplogin.net in the address field. The Welcome page for the setup process displays. If the Welcome page does not display but instead a security warning or a NETGEAR page displays: • Security warning: Your browser might display a security warning because of the self-signed certificate on the AP, which is expected behavior. You can proceed, or add an exception for the security warning. For more information, see kb.netgear.com/000062980. Installation and Initial Login 18 User Manual
