Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual To configure the AirBridge as a master in a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint setup: 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 Network, select Wireless. The Wireless Settings page displays. 5. From the Operation Mode menu, select AirBridge Master. 6. Select the AirBridge Enable radio button. 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. Note: For information about optional advanced settings that display on the page, such as changing the Auto RF mode (so that you can set a specific transmission power), channel HT mode, channel, bit rate, and master time slot, see Manage Advanced WiFi and Radio Features on page 90. We recommend that you do not change these advanced settings while you perform the current task. 7. In the Distance field, enter the approximate distance at which the satellite or satellites are located. Enter the distance in km. (1 km is 0.6 miles.) For example, if the distance is 2 km (1.2 miles), enter 2. Manually Configure or Change 39 the Operation Mode User Manual
