Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual If you install the AirBridge as a NETGEAR Insight managed device, the settings for features that you can manage through the Insight app and Insight Cloud portal are masked out in the local browser UI. However, using the local browser UI, you can still manage the settings for certain features that are not yet supported in Insight. For more information, visit the NETGEAR knowledge base at netgear.com/support/product/insight.aspx and search for What is Hybrid Management Mode. AirBridge label The label on the back panel of the AirBridge shows the serial number, MAC address, default management WiFi network name (SSID), network key (password), and default login information of the AirBridge. Operation mode: AirBridge Master, AirBridge Satellite, Access Point, or Client Bridge The AirBridge can function in one of the following operation modes: AirBridge Master, AirBridge Satellite, Access Point, or Client Bridge. With a WiFi link partner such as another AirBridge, you can provide network and Internet connectivity to a detached site where no wired infrastructure is available. Note: Closely related to the AirBridge operation mode is the AirBridge mode (that is, without the term operation). If the operation mode for the AirBridge is AirBridge Master or AirBridge Satellite, you can enable or disable the AirBridge mode. For more information, see AirBridge mode on page 12. The AirBridge can function in one of the following operation modes: • AirBridge Master. The AirBridge functions as a master in a point-to-point setup or point-to-multipoint setup. You install the master at a main site to provide long-distance network and Internet connectivity to a satellite at one or more detached sites. This setup requires a line of sight between the main site and each detached site. By default, the AirBridge mode is enabled, which is the setting that we recommend for a master-to-satellite setup. Depending on your network situation, your WiFi requirements, and your understanding of the consequences, you can disable the AirBridge mode.
