Installation and Basic Configuration

Wireless N150 Access Point WN604

Note: By default, the access point is set with the DHCP client disabled. If

your network uses dynamic IP addresses, you have to change this

setting. To connect to the access point after the DHCP server on

your network assigns it a new IP address, enter the access point

name into your web browser. The default access point name is

netgearxxxxxx, where xxxxxx represents the last 6 bytes of the MAC

address. The default name is printed on the bottom label of the

access point.

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

power outlet. The Power, LAN, and WiFi LEDs should light up.

Verify Wireless Connectivity

Using a computer with an 802.11b//jointfilesconvert/22761/bg/ng wireless adapter with the correct wireless settings

needed to connect to the access point (SSID, WEP/WPA, MAC ACL, etc.), verify connectivity

by using a browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer to browse the Internet, or

check for file and printer access on your network.

The default SSID for the 802.11b//jointfilesconvert/22761/bg/ng wireless mode is NETGEAR-11g. The SSID of any

wireless access adapters has to match the SSID configured in the access point. If they do not

match, no wireless connection is made.

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

Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines

The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on

the physical placement of the access point. The latency, data throughput performance, and

notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration

choices.

Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant

performance degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the

WN604. For complete performance specifications, see

Appendix A,

Supplemental Information.”

For best results, place your access point:

• Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
