Insight Cloud Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Access Point Model WAX620 If EEM is enabled and no WiFi clients are connected to the access point, antenna stream operation is limited to 1x1. (Under normal circumstances, the access point can support multiple antenna streams.) If a WiFi client initiates a connection to the access point, the antenna streams resume normal operation. Note the following restrictions: • Wireless distribution system: EEM is mutually exclusive with a wireless distribution system (WDS, see Set up a WiFi Bridge on page 214). • Neighbor AP detection: EEM does not let the 5 GHz radio detect neighbor APs (see Manage neighbor AP detection on page 123). • DFS channels: When WiFi clients connect to the access point and the access point resumes normal operation, 5 GHz radio transmissions can be temporarily suspended if the access point operates in a DFS channel (about 1 minute suspension for a DFS channel; about 10 minutes suspension for a weather DFS channel). Note: If use you EEM, we recommend that you enable band steering in your WiFi networks. Band steering lets 5-GHz-capable WiFi clients that are connected to the 2.4 GHz band to be steered to the 5 GHz band for improved performance. For more information, see Enable or disable band steering with 802.11k RRM and 802.11v WiFi network management on page 81. To enable or disable the Energy Efficiency Mode: 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. Manage and Maintain the Access 176 Point User Manual
