Using a computer with an 802.11g or 802.11b wireless adapter, verify connectivity by using a
browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox to connect to the Internet, or check for
file and printer access on your network. In order to connect to the Internet, your network must
include a router that provides Internet access.
Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to place the wireless access point in its
permanent position and to deploy the wireless access point in your network. (See
“Recommendations for Placement of the Wireless Access Point” on page 1-8
.) If needed, you can
now reconfigure the computer you prepared in
back to its original TCP/IP
settings.
Quick Start
By default, an access point is preset with SSID: NETGEAR_XXXX, where XXXX is the last 4
hex digits of the LAN MAC Address of the unit.
The default access point bridges the Wi-Fi interface to the Ethernet port, with both encryption and
VLAN tagging disabled.
To access the backbone network connected via the Ethernet port of the unit, establish a session at
the Wi-Fi interface with a Wi-Fi client. After establishing a Wi-Fi client session, information about
the established Wi-Fi session appears at the Web Administration Interface of the wireless access
point, under the section Information-> Wireless.
