For more information, see Management WiFi network on page 43. For all other types of connections, use the IP address that was assigned to the AP by your existing router or DHCP server during the setup process (see Initial login process on page 16) to log in to the device UI of the AP. That means that you must use the assigned IP address to log in to the device UI in all following situations: • Your WiFi-enabled computer or tablet is connected to one of the user WiFi networks on the AP but not to the management WiFi network. • Your wired computer is on the same network as the AP. • Your WiFi-enabled computer or tablet is not directly connected to the AP network even if it is on the same network as the AP. • Your WiFi-enabled computer or tablet is connected to the WiFi management network, but the AP is set up with a static IP address. • Your network includes another NETGEAR device that is also accessible by using https://www.aplogin.net. In such a situation, if you use https://www.aplogin.net, you might log in to the AP or you might log in to the other NETGEAR device, depending on your network situation.
