Basic Installation and Configuration 2-1
v1.0, May 2006
Chapter 2
Basic Installation and Configuration
This chapter describes how to set up your ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 for
wireless connectivity to your LAN. This basic configuration enables computers with 802.11b/g
wireless adapters to do such things as connect to the Internet or access printers and files on your
LAN.
You need to prepare the following three things before you can establish a connection through your
wireless access point:
A location for the WG302v2 that conforms to the Wireless Equipment Placement and Range
Guidelines described in this chapter.
A wired connection from the WG302v2 to your LAN through a device such as a hub, switch,
router, or Cable/DSL gateway.
One or more computers with properly configured 802.11b/g wireless adapters.
System Requirements
Before you install the WG302v2, make sure you have the following equipment and that your
system meets these requirements:
A 10/100 Mbps Local Area Network device such as a hub or switch.
The Category 5 UTP straight through Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector included in the
package, or one like it.
A 100-240 V, 50-60 HZ AC power source.
Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11b/g wireless networks at ranges of
several hundred feet or more. This distance can allow others outside your area to
access your network. It is important to take appropriate steps to secure your
network from unauthorized access. The ProSafe 802.11g provides highly effective
security features which are covered in detail on the NETGEAR Web site. For more
information, see Appendix A, “Related Documents. Deploy the security features
appropriate to your needs.
