Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual CAUTION: If you change the 5 GHz SSID to which a client bridge connects, we recommend that you first change the client bridge and then change the access point so that the WiFi backhaul connection between the access point and client bridge can be automatically reestablished. If you first change the access point and then change the client, the WiFi backhaul connection between the access point and client bridge is no longer operational, and you might not be able to access the client bridge. CAUTION: If you change the 5 GHz SSID or associated security settings, existing WiFi connections to clients are terminated. For a WiFi client to reconnect, the client must be configured with the new SSID, security settings, or both. To change a 5 GHz SSID or enable and configure a new 5 GHz SSID for an access point: 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 - Access Point section. The following information displays: • Up to eight 5 GHz SSIDs are available. • The Enabled check box is selected for the enabled SSIDs and cleared for the disabled SSIDs. You can either enable or disable SSIDs. • The SSID fields shows the names for the WiFi networks to which client bridges and WiFi clients can connect. You can change the SSID names.
