NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point WN802T v2 Reference Manual

2-12 Installation and Configuration

v1.0, September 2008

Deploying the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point

Now that you have completed the setup steps, you can deploy the WN802T v2 in your network. If

needed, you can now reconfigure the computer you used in step 1 in “Configuring the NETGEAR

Wireless-N Access Point” on page 2-2 back to its original TCP/IP settings.

To deploy the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point:

1. Disconnect the WN802T v2 and position it where it will be deployed. 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.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point to a LAN port on

your router, switch, or hub. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug

the power adapter into a power outlet. The PWR, LAN, and Wireless LAN LEDs and should

light up

Configuring and Testing Your PCs for Wireless Connectivity

Program the wireless adapter of your PCs to have the same SSID and channel that you configured

for the WN802T v2 (see “Configuring Basic Wireless Settings”). Check that they have a wireless

link and are able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the WN802T v2, when DHCP is enabled.

Once your PCs have basic wireless connectivity to the WN802T v2, you can deploy the WN802T

v2 and configure the advanced wireless security functions (see Chapter 3, “Wireless Security

Settings”).

Tip: Before mounting the WN802T v2 in a high location, first set up and test the

WN802T v2 to verify wireless network connectivity.

Note: If you are configuring the WN802T v2 from a wireless computer and you change

the SSID, channel, or security profile settings, you will lose your wireless

connection when you click Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of

your computer to match the new settings.
