Get an optional registration key
The registration key is an option to receive full access to the local browser
interface after you register the switch. With this option, the switch does not need
to be connected to the Internet. Visit www.mynetgear.com from a mobile device
or computer, use the NETGEAR Insight app, or, if you are an InsightPremium or
Pro subscriber, use the Insight Cloud Portal to log in to your NETGEAR account,
register the switch using its serial number, and receive a registration key to unlock
full access to the local browser interface.
Log in to congure the switch
You can use the switch as a plug-and-play device or you can change the settings
by logging in to the local browser interface.
If you did not get a registration key (see Get an optional registration key), make
sure that the switch is connected to the Internet. During the initial login, the switch
must access a NETGEAR server before you can log in to your NETGEAR account
and congure the switch.
Note: Before the initial login, if the switch is not connected to the Internet and
you did not get a registration key, you can log in with the local device password
(by default, password), but only a limited menu is available. After you log in once
with your NETGEAR account, with the switch still in its default management mode
(Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface), you can log in with the local device
password and the full menu is available, even if the switch is not connected to the
Internet.

By default, the management mode is set to Directly Connect to Web Browser
Interface, which lets you congure the switch from the local browser interface.
You can change the management mode so that you can manage the switch
remotely from the cloud with the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight Cloud Portal.

Mode section on the System Information page, select the NETGEAR Insight
Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal radio button.

Your settings are saved.
The rst time that you change the management mode to Insight, the switch is
reset to its factory default settings, and you must congure the switch using
the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight Cloud Portal.
