WAC510

Hi not sure that I'm in the right spot but I have a question about my WAC510 Access Point.

 

Question: I am no longer able to login to the Default Access IP: http://192.168.0.100

 

No matter what browser I'm using, e.g., Firefox, Chrome, Brave, I get the following message:

 

"The connection has timed out

The server at 192.168.0.100 is taking too long to respond.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web."

 

Now, the only way I can access it is via the Netgear Insight app.

 

Thanks for any help.

    Extremely unlikely the WAC510 - fully operational and accessible over the Insight cloud - does still operate on the default LAN IP address.

     

    The good thing? Insight does show (in at least to places) the effective IP address: In the list of devices at the location, and when clicking on the device.

     

    The trick isn't in using any random Web browser, much more using the effective LAN IP address.

     

    This is what the default LAN IP address is for - a directly connected computer, with no DHCP.
