Get Started User Manual28
The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.239. The IP address of the computer that
you use to access the switch off-network must in the same subnet as the default IP address
of the switch.
To access the switch off-network and not connected to the Internet after you
registered the switch with NETGEAR or obtained a registration key:
1. Change the
IP settings of your computer to be in the same subnet as the IP settings of
the switch.
If the DHCP client of the switch is enabled and you remove the switch from the network
with the DHCP server, the IP address reverts to the default IP
address of 192.168.0.239
with a subnet of 255.255.255.0.
Note: If you already disabled the DHCP client and assigned a static IP
address to the switch, change the IP settings of your computer to be in
the same subnet as the static IP address.
For more information about changing the IP settings on your computer
, see one of the
following knowledge base articles at the NETGEAR website:
•
Windows-based computer. See the following article:

(The Mac article is written for an access point but is also valid for a switch.)

in which x.x.x.x represents the IP address of the switch.
