NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point WG602v4 Reference Manual
2-8 Installation and Configuration
v1.0, June 2007
Verifying Wireless Connectivity
Using a computer with an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapter with the correct wireless settings
needed to connect to the WG602v4 (SSID, MAC ACL, WEP, WPA, 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. If you cannot connect, see “Troubleshooting” on page 5-1.
Deploying the Wireless AP
By default, the WG602v4 is set with the DHCP client enabled so that your router will assign it a
dynamic IP address. There are two methods to connect to the WG602v4 after the DHCP server on
your network assigns it a new IP address.
If your wireless access point is to be deployed on a local network, you can enter the NetBIOS
wireless access point name into your Web browser (see “NetBIOS Name Login” on
page 2-10). The default wireless access point name is netgearxxxxxx, where xxxxxx
represents the last 6 bytes of the MAC address. The MAC address is printed on the bottom
label of the WG602v4. (Using the NetBIOS naming convention to access your wireless access
point across several network segments is known to be unreliable.)
Reserve an IP address (based on the WG602v4’s MAC address) on your router or DHCP
server. That way, if your wireless access point is deployed across several segments, you can
configure it with a static IP address which you can always use to log in to make future
configuration changes.
Before installing the NETGEAR WG602v4 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point, you should make
sure that your Ethernet network is up and working. You will be connecting the wireless access
point to the Ethernet network so that computers with 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapters will be
able to communicate with computers on the Ethernet network.
To deploy your wireless access point:
1. Disconnect the WG602v4 and position it where you will deploy it. The best location is
elevated at the center of your wireless coverage area.
2. Lift the antenna side so that it is vertical.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from your Wireless AP to a LAN port on your router, switch, or
hub.
4. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power adapter into a
power outlet. The power, LAN, and wireless lights and should light up.
