Insight Cloud Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Access Point Model WAX620 Note: If you enable Energy Efficiency Mode, the access point cannot detect neighbor APs in the 5 GHz radio band. To use neighbor AP detection in the 5 GHz radio band, first disable Energy Efficiency Mode. For more information, see Manage the Energy Efficiency Mode on page 175. Enable neighbor access point detection and move access points to the Known AP List The access point can detect neighbor access points (APs) and lets you classify them as known APs. After you enable neighbor AP detection, the access point maintains a list of access points it detects in the area. Initially all detected access points are displayed in the Unknown AP List. You can manually move access points from the Unknown AP List to the Known AP List. By default neighbor access point detection is disabled. To enable neighbor access point detection and move detected access points to the Known AP List: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection. 2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. A login window displays. If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser security warning on page 43. 3. Enter the access point user name and password. The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name and password are case-sensitive. If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and managed the access point through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app, enter the Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 25. The Dashboard page displays. 4. Select Management > Configuration > Security > Neighbor AP. The page that displays lets you select the radio band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz). 5. Click the > button to the left of the radio band. The Neighbor AP page displays for the selected radio band. 6. Select the Enable Neighbor AP check box. Manage Access and Security 124 User Manual
