Netgear WC7600v2 – ProSAFE Wireless Controller User Manual

The wireless controller’s web management interface opens and displays the Summary 
page.

Select Configuration > Security > Basic > Rogue AP. 

The wireless controller can support a total of up to 512 access points from the known and 
unknown lists combined.

Next to Rogue AP Detection, select the enable radio button.

Next to Alert Severity, select the severity of the alarm when a rogue access point is detected:

Major. A major alarm is triggered.

Minor. A minor alarm is triggered.

Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.

Because the neighboring and rogue access points are detected during off-channel scans, 
it typically takes about 30 minutes after the rogue AP detection is enabled for the 
neighbor and rogue access points to be detected on one channel.

Once the neighbor and rogue access points are detected, the wireless controller 
populates the known list (that is, the database with known access points) and unknown 
list (that is, the database with unknown access points).

You can identify what could be access points from neighboring businesses that are known. 

As you identify access points, mark them as known or unknown so that the wireless controller 

does not keep finding them and flagging them. Marking the access points can help you to 
identify your own equipment that must be managed and the rogue access points that must be 
detected. A rogue access point acquired both a WiFi and a LAN connection. A neighbor is an 
access point with only a WiFi connection, not a LAN connection.
