Insight Instant AirBridge WBC502 User Manual 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 Channel HT Mode menu, select 20MHz, 40MHz (the default setting), or 80MHz. 6. Click the Save button. Your settings are saved but not yet applied. A pop-up window opens. The window shows the number of changes to be applied. 7. In the pop-up window, click the Apply button. Your changes are applied. If the WiFi link must be reestablished, the page displays the number of seconds before the AirBridge is back online. Manage the channel or channels By default, a WiFi channel is automatically assigned for the 5 GHz radio on the AirBridge. The channels that are available depend on the country and region that you selected for the AirBridge. You do not need to change the channel unless you experience interference (which is indicated by lost connections). If you use multiple access points, you can reduce interference by selecting different channels for adjacent access points. We recommend a channel spacing of four channels between adjacent access points (for example, use channels 44 and 60, or 112 and 128). WARNING: Make sure that the country is set to the location where the device is operating (see Change the country and region of operation on page 58). You are responsible for complying with the local, regional, and national regulations that are set for channels, power levels, and frequency ranges.
