outlet is controlled by a wall switch that is
turned off.
•
Ethernet
: The Ethernet (LAN) light
should be lit (amber for 10/100 Mbps and green
for 1000 Mbps) indicating that a connection
has been made. If not, make sure the Ethernet

LAN IP subnet.
Tip:
Before you deploy your wireless-N access point, reserve an IP address

Using a computer with a wireless adapter configured according to the wireless
settings you just set in the WN802Tv2, establish a wireless connection to the
WN802Tv2.
Deploy the WN802Tv2
Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy the WN802Tv2 in
your network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back to its
original TCP/IP settings.
Warning:
To allow for proper ventilation, always install the unit vertically using the
included stand. Do not lay the unit flat.
1. Disconnect the WN802Tv2 from the computer and place it where you will deploy it.
The best location is elevated, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle, at the
center of your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile
devices. The WN802Tv2 should be positioned vertically.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your WN802Tv2 wireless-N access point to a LAN
port on your router, switch, or hub.
