Chapter 4

Management

This chapter describes how to use the management and information features as well as the 
advanced wireless settings features of your RangeMax NEXT Wireless Access Point. These 
features can be found under the Management, Information and Advanced menus on the left 
navigation pane of the browser interface.

Changing the Password

The default password for the WN802T is

 password.

 NETGEAR recommends that you change this 

password to a more secure password. 

To change the password:

1.

Select 

Change Password

 under the 

Management

 menu on the left navigation pane. The 

Change Password

 screen will display.

Figure 4-2

Note: 

Before changing the WN802T password, use the backup utility to save your 

configuration settings. If you forget your new password, you must reset the 
WN802T back to the factory defaults and use the default password. Consequently, 
you will have to restore any WN802T configuration settings you have made. The 
backup file can be used in this event.
