Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102

Basic Installation and Configuration 3-9

202-10064-02, June 2005

Configure the wireless interface for wireless access. See the online help or the

“Understanding Wireless Settings” on page 3-12 topic of this Reference Manual for full

instructions.

Note: You must set the Country/Region. It may not be legal to operate the wireless access

point in a region other than one of those identified in this field.

Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy the WG102 in your

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

original TCP/IP settings.

3DEPLOY THE WG102 ACCESS POINT

a. Disconnect the WG102 and position 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.

b. Lift the antenna on either side so that they are vertical.

Note: Consult the antenna positioning and wireless mode configuration information in the

Advanced Configuration chapter of the Reference Manual.

c. Connect an Ethernet cable from your WG102 Access Point to a LAN port on your router,

switch, or hub.

Note: By default, WG102 is set to with the DHCP client disabled. If your network uses

dynamic IP addresses, you will need to change this setting.

d. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power adapter in to a

power outlet. The PWR, LAN, and WLAN lights should light up.

4VERIFY WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY

Using a computer with an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapter with the correct wireless

settings needed to connect to the WG102 (SSID, WEP/WPA, MAC ACL, etc.), verify

connectivity by using a browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer to browse the Internet,

or check for file and printer access on your network.

Note: If you are unable to connect, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting.”
