Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual You can mount the AirBridge outside to a wall or pole and provide power to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable that is connected to the provided power adapter, which must be installed indoors. The AirBridge integrates a high-gain directional antenna for a line of sight connection to other AirBridges or WiFi clients. The AirBridge provides two 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 LAN ports for network connections. One LAN port must be connected to the provided power adapter. Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors to make Gigabit connections. For more information about the hardware, see the hardware installation guide. The AirBridge provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor, and control the AirBridge and the WiFi network: • Using the local browser user interface (UI) you can configure the AirBridge and set up a WiFi connection between two or more units in any of the supported operation modes. This manual (the user manual) describes the options that are available to you when you use the local browser UI. • Using NETGEAR Insight, you can set up a pair or a group of AirBridges, with one AirBridge functioning as the master and one or more other AirBridges functioning as satellites.

About NETGEAR Insight To configure and manage the AirBridge as a master or satellite in a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint setup, you can use NETGEAR Insight app on your iOS or Android mobile device and connect to the Insight cloud-based management platform. For Insight Premium and Insight Pro subscribers, the AirBridge also supports the Insight Cloud portal, which is the website that provides access to the Insight cloud-based management platform.

To configure and manage the AirBridge as an access point or client bridge, you first must change the management mode to Standalone Mode, and then use the local browser UI.
