v1.0, July 2008

point rediscovers the devices. To force the wireless access point to look for associated devices,
click the Refresh button.
Upgrading the Wireless Access Point Firmware
You cannot upgrade the firmware from a computer that is connected to the WG102 Access Point
with a wireless link. You must use a computer that is connected to the WG102 Access Point with
an Ethernet cable.
The WG102 Access Point firmware is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as new
firmware is released by NETGEAR. You can download the upgrade files from the NETGEAR
website. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the image (.IMG) file
before you send it to the wireless access point. The upgrade file can be sent using your browser.
Follow the steps below to upgrade the firmware:
1. Download the file from the NETGEAR website, save it to your hard disk, and unzip it.
2. If you want to save your configuration settings, see “Backing up and Restoring the
Configuration” on page 3-8.
Note: A wireless network can include multiple wireless access points, all using the same
network name (SSID). This extends the reach of the wireless network. Users can
roam from one access point to another, providing seamless network connectivity. If
this is the case, only the stations associated with this access point are shown in the
Available Station List.
Warning: When uploading firmware to the WG102 Access Point, do not interrupt the
Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If
the browser is interrupted, the upload may fail, corrupt the firmware, and
render the WG102 Access Point completely inoperable
Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the WG102 Access Point must
support HTTP uploads, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or above, or
Netscape Navigator 4.78 or above.
