Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual Perform a speed test You can perform a speed test between the AirBridge and an IPv4 address or host name and view the results of the speed test. You can also use this option to determine the general network performance. The maximum speed that the AirBridge can measure is 100 Mbps. Use the speed test to determine the point-to-point link speed between a master and a satellite or between an access point and a client bridge. For example, after the point-to-point link between a master and a satellite is established, you can do the following: • On the master, enter the IP address of the satellite, and perform the speed test to determine the speed of the downlink, which is the link from the master to the satellite. • On the satellite, enter the IP address of the master, and perform the speed test to determine the speed of the uplink, which is the link from the satellite to the master. To perform a speed test: 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 Tools. By default, the Ping tab is selected and the Ping Test Parameters page displays. 5. Select the Speed Test tab. The Speed Test Parameters page displays. 6. In the Target IP / Domain Name field, enter the IP address or domain name for which you want to perform a speed test. Perform Diagnostics and 145 Troubleshooting User Manual
