Insight Cloud Managed WiFi 6 AX3600 Access Point Model WAX620 Set NAT mode or Bridge mode for addressing and traffic By default, the addressing and traffic mode of the access point is Bridge mode, which means that WiFi clients receive IP addresses from a DHCP server (or a router that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. This is usually the same DHCP server that assigns an IP address to the access point itself. You can also set NAT mode, which enables the access point's DHCP server for WiFi clients. The access point's DHCP server assigns an IP address in a different range from the IP address of the access point itself. NAT mode and the following features are mutually exclusive: • Multi PSK (see Set up Multi PSK for a WiFi network on page 76) • Management VLAN (see Set the 802.1Q VLAN and management VLAN on page 137) • mDNS gateway (see Manage the multicast DNS gateway on page 145) To set NAT mode or Bridge mode for addressing and traffic: 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 > Wireless > Basic. The page that displays lets you select an SSID. 5. Click the > button to the left of the SSID. Manage the Advanced WiFi 200 Features for a WiFi network User Manual
