Netgear WAC104 – Dual Band 802.11ac Wireless Access Point User Manual

The page refreshes with the language that you selected.

We recommend that you change the default password that you use to log in to the access point to a more

secure password. This is the password that you use to log in to the access point with the user name admin.
The ideal password contains no dictionary words from any language and contains uppercase and lowercase

letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters.

This admin password is the password that you use to log in to the access point web

management interface. It is not the password that you use for WiFi access.

Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to

the access point directly through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.

Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
If you did not enable the DHCP client on the access point or did not assign a static IP address, enter

the default access point IP address 

192.168.0.100.

A login window opens.

Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is 

admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are

case-sensitive.
The Home page displays.

We recommend that you enable password recovery if you change the password for the access point user

name admin. Then you can recover the password if it is forgotten. This recovery process is supported in

Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome browsers, but not in the Safari browser.
