Netgear Business AP WAX214 - AX1800 WIFI 6 Default local Device password.
What is the default local device password for these APs.
Ordered 4 of these units to test for deployment in a number of dead spots around our institution. I can connect to the devices via the IP address that is acquired from dhcp. However it is asking for a "local device Password"
Firmware version: V1.0.1.0
Model: Netgear Business AP WAX214 - AX1800 WIFI 6
What is this password. There is no reference made in the documentation.
Thanks
Hey Guys
I got the APs login issue resolved. I was contacted by a chap from Netgear and he was able to deduce that the day_zero login page was not running on connecting the APs to the switch. He recommended that I initiate a factory default reset on the APs ( whilst the AP was connected, hold down the reset button for 20 seconds)
Once this was completed, the Aps rebooted and I was able to get the the required day_zero page via the acquired device ip address.
It definitely lets you wonder how come they were already configured.
Anyway..just posting so this may benefit someone in the future.
Cherios

Usually the MAC address, without colons.
Sorry Mate
This did not work. with or without the colons.
Any other suggestions
So I am assuming this didn't do anything either?
I would venture trying other web browsers, disabling adblock, anything. Resetting?
Not to be silly, but does "password" work?
These are new units and haven't been activated before?
I don't really have much else I can think of. Good luck!
