Resumen del manual
Note: You must set the Regulatory Domain. It may not be legal to operate the wireless access point in a region other than one of those identified in this field. • Channel/Frequency. Identifies which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems or if you are setting up the WG602v4 near another access point. The available wireless channels are between 1 and 11 in the US and Canada, and between 1 and 13 for Europe and Australia. – If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11). – In “Infrastructure” mode, wireless stations normally scan all channels, looking for an access point. If more than one access point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. This only occurs when the various access points are using the same SSID Mode. The default is g and b. You can change the mode to g or b only. • Data Rate. Shows the available transmit data rate of the wireless network. The possible data rates supported are: 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 48 Mbps, 54 Mbps, and Best.The default is Best. 3. Click Apply to save any changes. Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy the WG602v4 in your network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back to its original TCP/IP settings. Tip: Before mounting the WG602v4 in a high location, first set up and test the WG602v4 to verify wireless network connectivity. Installation and Configuration v1.0, June 2007 NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point WG602v4 Reference Manual 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. Installation and Configuration v1.0, June 2007 NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point WG602v4 Reference Manual Logging Into the WG602v4 The NETGEAR WG602v4 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point can be configured remotely from Microsoft Internet Explorer browser version 5.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator Web browser version 4.78 or above, or Mozilla Firefox. You can log in to the WG602v4 in these two ways: • Using the IP Address of the WG602v4 (if DHCP client is disabled) or with a reserved IP address assigned by your router (if DHCP client is enabled). Either one of these methods is the most reliable. • Using the NetBIOS name of the WG602v4, which is not as reliable as using an IP Address. IP Address Login The default IP address of your wireless access point is 192.168.0.227. However, if you have disabled DHCP client (fixed or static IP address), you can change the IP Address and IP Subnet Mask of your wi...
