Router management options
The router provides management options (which are not mutually exclusive) that let
you discover the router on the network and configure, monitor, and control the router:
•
Local browser–based management interface. You must access the local
browser–based management interface, in this manual referred to as the local browser
interface, to set up the WAN (Internet) connection and other settings of the router.
Note: The BR200 local browser interface must be accessed through the default
management LAN (VLAN 1). It can't be reached through another VLAN or through
VPN.
•
NETGEAR Insight mobile app. After you set up the WAN connection of the router
using the local browser interface, you can use the NETGEAR Insight mobile app to
discover the router on the network and add the router to the NETGEAR Insight app.
Doing so allows you to set up the router in the network and manage and monitor
the router remotely from your smartphone. You can choose from four methods to
add the router to the NETGEAR Insight app: You can scan your network for the router,
scan the QR code or the barcode of the router, or add the serial number of the router
(see Add the router to an Insight managed network on page 17).
•
Insight Cloud portal. As an Insight Premium or Pro user, after you set up the WAN
connection of the router using the local browser interface, you can use the NETGEAR
Insight Cloud portal to set up the router in the network, perform advanced remote
management, monitor the router, analyze the router and network usage, and, if
necessary, troubleshoot the router and the network.
Note: For more information about NETGEAR Insight, visit netgear.com/insight, see the
NETGEAR knowledge base articles at netgear.com/support/, and see the Insight user
manual at downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/Insight/Insight_UM_EN.pdf.
