Disable the idle time-out for the 2.4 GHz management SSID By default, the idle time-out for the 2.4 GHz management SSID is 15 minutes. That is, if no WiFi client is connected to the 2.4 GHz management SSID for 15 minutes, the 2.4 GHz management SSID is turned off. Only after you reboot the AirBridge can you reconnect to the 2.4 GHz management SSID. However, you can disable the idle time-out so that the 2.4 GHz management SSID stays always on. To disable the idle time-out for the 2.4 GHz management SSID: 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).
