4 Install the Access Point in an Insight Instant Mesh WiFi Network In addition to functioning as a regular standalone access point, the access point can function in an Insight Instant Mesh WiFi network as either a root access point (which we refer to as a root) or a node access point (which we refer to as a node). This chapter describes how you can use the NETGEAR Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app to connect the access point to a root so that you can let the access point function as a node in an Insight Instant Mesh WiFi network. The NETGEAR Insight Cloud Portal and Insight app are available for Insight Premium and Insight Pro subscribers. Note: To set up a node in a NETGEAR Insight Instant Mesh WiFi network with a connection to a root, you must use either the NETGEAR Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app. You cannot use the local browser UI to set up a mesh WiFi connection to a root. For information about how you can manage and monitor the node with the Insight Cloud Portal and Insight app, visit netgear.com/insight. The Insight Cloud Portal and Insight app have embedded help and are documented in multiple knowledge base articles that you can access by visiting netgear.com/support. The chapter contains the following sections: • What are a root and a node? • What is an Insight Instant Mesh WiFi network? • Requirements for placing a node in a mesh WiFi network • Access the NETGEAR Insight Cloud Portal to set up or manage an Insight Instant Mesh WiFi network • Connect the access point as a node to a root using the Cloud Portal • Install the NETGEAR Insight app to manage an Insight Instant Mesh WiFi network • Connect the access point as a node to a root using the Insight app Note: In this manual, WiFi network means the same as SSID (service set identifier or WiFi network name) or VAP (virtual access point). That is, when we refer to a WiFi network we mean an individual SSID or VAP. 44
