Attach the Antennas and Connect the Access Point to

Your Computer

1. Attach the antennas to the SMA antenna connectors on the back panel.

2. Prepare a computer

with an Ethernet

adapter:

a. If this computer is

already part of your

network, record its

TCP/IP

configuration

settings.

b. Configure the

computer with a

static IP address of

192.168.0.210 and

a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0.

3. Insert an Ethernet

cable in the Ethernet

port of the computer

(point Ain the

illustration).

4. Securely insert the other end of the cable into the Ethernet LAN port on the

back panel of the access point (point Bin the illustration).

5. Connect the power adapter to the access point and plug the power adapter

into a power outlet.

6. Verify the following:

Power LED. The Power LED is green. If the Power LED is off, check

the connections, and check if the power outlet is controlled by a wall

switch that is turned off.

Test LED. The Test LED blinks amber at startup and turns off after

about one minute.

LAN LED. The LAN LED indicates LAN speeds: green for 1000 Mbps,

amber for 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps. If no link is detected, the LAN LED is off.

WLAN LED. The WLAN LED is blue, indicating that the wireless LAN

(WLAN) is ready.

Configure the LAN and Wireless Access Settings

1. On the computer that is connected to the access point, enter

http://192.168.0.100 in the address field of a browser.

A login window displays.

2. Enter admin for the user name and

password for the password, both in

lowercase letters.

The web management interface of

the access point displays. The menu

lets you navigate to the various

screens.

3. Select Configuration > System > Basic > General from the menu.

a. In the Access Point Name field, enter a unique name or leave the default

name.

b. From the Country/Region drop-down list, select the country where the

access point is installed.

c. Click Apply.

4. Select Configuration > IP > IP Settings from the menu.

By default, the access point has a static IP address of 192.168.0.100 with a

subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and the DHCP client is disabled.

a. Configure the IP settings for your LAN.

b. Click Apply.

Tip: If you configure the access point as a DHCP client, reserve an

IP address on the DHCP server in your network by binding the

access point’s MAC address to the IP address that is issued

by the DHCP server. The next time that you log in to the

access point, you need to use the reserved IP address.

5. Select Configuration > Security > Profile Settings from the menu.

a. Configure one or more security profiles for your wireless network.

b. After configuring each security profile, click Apply.

6. Select Configuration > Wireless > Advanced > Wireless Settings.

a. Next to Antenna, select the External radio button to enable the external

Test Wireless Connectivity

Using a computer or another wireless device, verify that you can establish a

wireless connection to the access point. By default, the wireless radio of the

access point is on and the default wireless mode is ng (that is, 802.11ng).

Now that you have finished the setup, you are ready to deploy the access point in

your network. You can reconfigure the computer that you used to configure the

access point back to its original TCP/IP settings.

Deploy the Access Point

1. Disconnect the access point and position it where you plan to deploy it.

The best location is elevated such as wall or ceiling mounted, at the center of

your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all wireless devices.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet LAN port on your access point

to a LAN port on your router, switch, or hub.

3. Connect the power adapter to the access point and plug the power adapter

into a power outlet.

The Power and LAN LEDs should light.

Tip: The access point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). If you have

a switch that provides PoE, you do not need to use the power

adapter to power the access point. This can be especially

convenient when the access point is installed in a high location far

from a power outlet.

4. Using a computer or another wireless device, verify the following:

•You can establish a wireless connection to the access point.

•You can connect to the Internet through a browser.

•You can access files and printers on your network.

Troubleshooting Tips

This section provides some tips for correcting simple problems that you might

encounter. For more troubleshooting information, see the troubleshooting chapter

in the reference manual.

Problem Cause Possible Solution

No LEDs are lit

on the access

point.

The access point

has no power.

• Make sure that the power cord is connected to the

access point and plugged in to a working power

outlet or power strip.

• Make sure that you are using the correct

NETGEAR power adapter supplied with your

access point.

• If the access point is using PoE, make sure that

the PoE switch is providing power to the access

point.

The LAN LED

is off.

There is a

hardware

connection

problem.

• Make sure that the cable connectors are securely

plugged in to the access point and to the network

device (hub, [PoE] switch, or router).

• Make sure that the network device is turned on.

The WLAN

LED is off.

The wireless

connection does

not work.

• If the WLAN LED stays off, disconnect the power

adapter from its power source and then plug it in

again.

• Log in to the access point and verify that the radio

or radios are turned on.

• Contact NETGEAR if the WLAN LED remains off.

You cannot

configure the

access point

from a browser.

Multiple causes. • Make sure that the access point is correctly

installed, it is powered on, and the LAN

connections are good. Check that the LAN LED is

lit to verify that the Ethernet connection is good.

• Ensure that your computer is using an IP address

in the range of the access point. The access point

default IP address is 192.168.0.100, and the

default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

wireless

device.

There is a

configuration

problem.

• You might not have restarted the wireless device

to let the TCP/IP changes take effect. Restart the

computer.

• Make sure that the SSID and wireless security

settings of the wireless device are the same as

those of the access point.
