Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual Change the management mode to Standalone Mode To change the management mode from NETGEAR Insight Mode to Standalone Mode: 1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection. 2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge. The login page displays. If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the AirBridge after initial setup on page 34. 3. Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password. The user name is admin. The local device password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive. If you previously managed the AirBridge through the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the Insight network password for the Insight network location to which the AirBridge was assigned (see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 15). The Device Status page displays the Device Information section and other sections. 4. Under Management, select Advanced. The page displays the advanced settings with the Management Mode section at the top. 5. In the Management Mode section, select the Standalone Mode radio button. 6. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved and applied. Upgrade the firmware on the AirBridge You can visit the NETGEAR support website to determine if new firmware is available for the AirBridge. If new firmware is available, download the firmware file to your computer. If needed, unzip the firmware file. Then, update the AirBridge to the new firmware. Note: Before you upgrade the firmware, we recommend that you read the firmware release notes, if available. Although it is highly unlikely, a situation might occur that requires you to reconfigure the AirBridge after a firmware upgrade. Maintain the AirBridge 113 User Manual
