Installation and Basic Configuration

Wireless N150 Access Point WN604

4. Ensure that the auto channel (default) feature is selected for your network. This feature

selects a channel that has the least interference.

It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference

problems or are near another wireless access point. Select a channel that is not being

used by any other wireless networks within several hundred feet of your access point.

5. Click Apply to save any changes.

6. Select Configuration > Security. For initial configuration and testing, the Network

Authentication setting is set to Open System and the default SSID to NETGEAR_11ng. (For

more information about configuring a profile, see

Security Profiles on page 25.)

Note: The SSID of any station has to match the SSID you configured in

the access point. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless

connection to the access point.

7. Click Apply to save any changes.

8. Configure and test your PCs for wireless connectivity.

Set up the wireless adapters of your PCs to have the same SSID that you configured in

the WN604. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address by

DHCP from the WN604.

Once your PCs have basic wireless connectivity, you can configure the advanced wireless

security functions.
