Netgear WAX 214v2
Hi All… I have to figure out a way to get onto my Netgear WAX 214v2 without restarting the device and waiting for the config SSID to appear after restart.

I’ve read the documentation, but because my access point is always in use, I’m trying to find out how can I log on to the device whilst it is in use, and see what devices are connected to it. I wanted to delete mobiles phones users from the access point.
People have been using this access point for personal devices.
How would I apply a ip address or something like my home router, to connect to the device when ever I need to.
Thanks

Simply by login from a Web browser to the WAX214v2 LAN IP address for example? The WAX214v2 LAN IP can be found on your router DHCP or connected devices table, or for simplicity direct on a Windows system Explorer by Windows 10: Enable network browsing / WS-Discovery / UPnP / SSDP service discovery across subnets from Windows Explorer ...can't be easier.
There is no need to enable the Management Interface on demand. If you desire, you can keep it always enabled, too.
Said this, you could also reserve the IP-MAC address entry on your router DHCP server.
There is no requirement for restarting and wait for the Config SSID, this would be just part of a last resort solution.
