Typical "issue" when operating these WAC124 (or similar) in Access Point Mode - you can't use the http://routerlogin.com/ First reference to this is in the fine WAC124 User Manual https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WAC124/WAC124_UM_NEW_EN.pdf p.18.

Thank you both. Unfortunately I have already tried both these options, basically logging in via the device's IP address.

Many thanks.
