Follow these instructions to set up your wireless-N access point. You can also consult the

documentation links on the Resource CD or the NETGEAR knowledge base at

http://kbserver.netgear.com. Please consult the Resource CD or the Documentation link on

the user interface to access the NETGEAR RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N Access Point

WN802T Reference Manual for instructions on advanced configuration options.

Estimated Completion Time: 20 minutes.

Tip: Before mounting the WN802T Wireless-N Access Point in a high location, first set

up and test the WN802T to verify wireless network connectivity.

First, Set Up the WN802T

1. CONNECT THE WIRELESS-N ACCESS POINT TO YOUR COMPUTER

a. Unpack the box and verify the contents.

b. Prepare a computer with Internet access and an Ethernet adapter. If this computer

is already part of your network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings.

Configure the computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and

255.255.255.0 as the Subnet Mask.

c. Connect an Ethernet cable from the

WN802T to the PC.

d. Securely insert the other end of the cable

into the WN802T Ethernet port.

e. Connect the NETGEAR Switching

Power Supply from the wireless-N

access point to an AC power outlet.

Note: Only connect your wireless-N

access point using the switching power

supply provided with the WN802T.

f. Check the lights on the front of the wireless-N access point:

• Power: The green power light should be

lit. If the power light is not lit, check the

connections and check to see if the power

outlet is controlled by a wall switch that is

turned off.

• Ethernet: The Ethernet (LAN) light

should be lit (amber for 10/100 Mbps and green

for 1000 Mbps) indicating that a connection

has been made. If not, make sure the Ethernet

cable is securely attached at both ends.

• WLAN: The blue wireless light should

be lit and blinking indicating that it is sending a

signal.

2. CONFIGURE LAN AND WIRELESS ACCESS

a. Configure the WN802T Ethernet port for LAN access.Connect to the WN802T

by opening your browser and entering http://192.168.0.233 in the address field.

A login window will display.

b. When prompted, enter

admin for the

user name and

password for the

password, both in lower case letters.

The NETGEAR RangeMax™

NEXT Wireless-N Access Point

WN802T user interface will display.

c. Select Wireless Settings under the

Setup menu on the left navigation pane and configure your wireless interface for

wireless access.

d. Then select WEP/WPA Settings under Security and configure the level of data

encryption security for your network.

See the online help or the online Reference Manual for full instructions.

http://192.168.0.233

e. Finally, select Basic Settings under the Setup menu on the left navigation pane

and configure the IP Settings for your network.

Note: If you change the default subnet of the LAN IP address, you will be

disconnected from the WN802T Wireless-N Access Point user interface. To

reconnect, reconfigure your computer with a static IP address within the new

LAN IP subnet.

Tip: Before you deploy your wireless-N access point, reserve an IP address

(based on the WN802T’s MAC address) on the DHCP server. That way, you can

configure the wireless-N access point with a static IP address which you can

always use to log in to make future configuration changes.

3. TEST WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY

Using a computer with a wireless adapter configured according to the wireless

settings you just set in the WN802T, establish a wireless connection to the WN802T.

Deploy the WN802T

Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy the WN802T in your

network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back to its original

TCP/IP settings.

Warning: To allow for proper ventilation, always install the unit vertically using the

included stand. Do not lay the unit flat.

1. Disconnect the WN802T from the computer and place it where you will deploy it.

The best location is elevated, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle, at the

center of your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile

devices. The WN802T should be positioned vertically.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your WN802T wireless-N access point to a LAN port

on your router, switch, or hub.

3. Connect the power adapter to the wireless-N access point and plug the power adapter

in to a power outlet. The Power, WLAN and Ethernet lights should light up.

Note: A wall mount kit is included with theWN802T. Instructions for installing the

brackets and mounting the WN802Tare in the online NETGEAR RangeMax NEXT

Wireless-N Access Point WN802T Reference Manual.
