Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual CAUTION: If you change the 5 GHz SSID to which satellite connects, we recommend that you first change the satellite and then change the master so that the WiFi backhaul connection between the master and satellite can be automatically reestablished. If you first change the master and then change the satellite, the WiFi backhaul connection between the master and satellite is no longer operational, and you might not be able to access the satellite. To change a 5 GHz SSID or enable and configure a new 5 GHz SSID for a master with the AirBridge mode disabled: 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. Go to the Wireless Settings - 5G section. The following information displays: • Up to four 5 GHz SSIDs are available. • The Enabled check box is selected for the enabled SSIDs and cleared for the disabled SSIDs.
