    Dear Khagesh 

     

    Completely confusing problem report I'm afraid.

    The login (based on the Netgear Account) is completely independent of a device, of a free subscription.

     

    As you say "so many", is this an existing Netgear Insight account and an existing site?

    There are bunch of variants available on how to add new devices to a Netgear Insight site.

     

    If using the Insight Web portal, start about here -> https://kb.netgear.com/000044341/How-do-I-discover-add-and-register-switches-access-points-and-Orbi-Pro-WiFi-Systems-in-Insight#portal 

     

    For alternate options, scroll up and down and check the complete KB entry https://kb.netgear.com/000044341/How-do-I-discover-add-and-register-switches-access-points-and-Orbi-Pro-WiFi-Systems-in-Insight

    The Insight account creation, the initial access, and the first 30 days if Insight Premium usage is open regardless and works independent of any active service license. At this point, you are able to add Insight managed devices.

     

    Be aware the Insight Managed devices require a workable Internet access for talking to the Netgear Insight cloud infrastructure. Otherwise, the cloud connection can never be established for the obvious reason. 

     

    The Devices view (https://insight.netgear.com/#/devices/dash) might show the device registered, but the Status will never change to the green "Connected", the cloud LED will never indicate a successful and active cloud connection. What is shown on your Devices view on the Status column?
