I have purchased four of these Wireless Access Points without realising that I require to purchase a controller to manage these thinking they were stand alone devices. What is the most inexpensive controller I require to purchase to make these things work. The WC7600 is far to powerfull for what I require. What are my options please.

Re: Pro Safe Wireless Access Point WN370
Hi Murrayfield,
Welcome to the community! 🙂
I'm afraid to inform you that the WN730 can only be managed by the WC7600 wireless controller. Since you need a standalone access point, I suggest the WAC510 access point. Kindly check its specification and comparison with other NETGEAR access points on the data sheet here.

Re: Pro Safe Wireless Access Point WN370
Hi DaneA
Thanks for the info. I did a bit more research in between posting the question and receiving your reply and I have a query. One of the documents I searched on came up with the following (page 2) https://www.netgear.com/images/pdf/WC7500_DS_30Mar16.pdf which seems to show support for the WN370 by the WC7500. Well I hope so 'cos I have bought one 😉
Cheers
Ian

Re: Pro Safe Wireless Access Point WN370
Yes, the WC7500 also supports the WN370. From my previous response to you, I have based my answer on page 1 of the WN370 installation guide here where it says "The WN370 access point can only be deployed in a network managed by a ProSAFE WC7600 wireless controller" under the section of 'Set Up the Access Point.'

Re: Pro Safe Wireless Access Point WN370
I can categorically say that the wc7500 will manage the wn370 I managed to get four working today. The first two were easy but the second two were a problem. In the end I rebooted the wc7500 then plugged in each AP individually factory reset the AP found it on the controller then edited the AP and the WC to fit into my network op address scheme. Worked a treat

Pro Safe Wireless Access Point WN370
I just have bought THREE wn370 to realize that I need to buy also a @#!? additional "machine" to have them configured. Is there any other mean to configure them? telnet? https? ftp?. When they first are powered I presume they send a DHCP discover and "WireSharking" the communications (yes, I have a primitive HUB not SWITCH that can propagate packets) so I could know their IPs. No chance?

Re: Pro Safe Wireless Access Point WN370
Hi,
WN370 can only be managed and configured by the following WLAN controllers.
WC7500, WC7600, WC7600v2, WC9500. You have to buy one of these controllers to make WN370 work, and there is no other option to configure it.

Re: Pro Safe Wireless Access Point WN370
So no chance with the "http://192.168.0.160" that is used to obtain the logs when a WC cannot discover the unit? :
