Manage Certificates
The internal authentication server for certificate-based authentication requires you to install a
certificate on the wireless controller. A default self-signed server certificate is installed on the
wireless controller. However, NETGEAR strongly recommends that you replace this default
certificate with a custom certificate issued for your site or domain by a trusted certificate
authority (CA).
To obtain a security certificate for the wireless controller, generate and submit a certificate
signing request (CSR) to the CA of your choice. Upon receiving the CA-signed server
certificate, install the certificate from your computer as described in this section. Certificates
must be in X.509 PEM format.
 To add certificates:
1. Open a web browser. In the browser
’s address field, type the wireless controller’s IP
address.
By default, the IP address is 192.168.0.250.
The wireless controller’s login screen displays.
2. Enter your user name and password.
If you did not yet personalize your user name and password, enter admin for the user
name and password for the password, both in lowercase letters.
3. Click the Login button.
The wireless controller’s web management interface opens and displays the Summary
screen.
4. Select Configuration > System > Certificates.
