Set Up the Access Point

Follow these instructions to set up your wireless access point. Before proceeding
with the WNDAP660 installation, familiarize yourself with the contents of the
Resource CD. See the Reference Manual for instructions on advanced
configuration options.

Tip: Before mounting the access point in a high location, first set up
and test the unit to verify wireless network connectivity.

1. Connect the wireless access point to your computer.

a. Prepare a PC with an Ethernet adapter. If this PC is already part of your

network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings. Configure the PC with a
static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.

b. Connect an Ethernet cable from the access point to the PC (point A in the

illustration).

c. Securely insert the other end of

the cable into an access point
Ethernet port (point B in the
illustration).

d. Connect the power adapter to

the access point. Verify the
following:

The Power LED blinks when
the access point is first turned
on. After a few seconds it should
stay on (steady green). If after
30 seconds the Power LED is off
or is still blinking, check the connections and check to see if the power
outlet is controlled by a wall switch that is turned off.

The ACTIVE LED blinks when there is network traffic.
The LAN1 and LAN2 LEDs indicate LAN speed for each LAN port;

green for 1000 Mbps, amber for 100Mbps, and no light for 10Mbps.

2.4 GHz (WLAN). This LED indicates 2.4 GHz traffic.
5 GHz (WLAN). This LED indicates 5 GHz traffic.

2. Configure LAN and wireless access

a. From your PC, configure the access point Ethernet port for LAN access.

Connect to the access point by opening your browser and entering

http://192.168.0.100 in the address field.

b. A login window displays. When

prompted, enter admin for the
user name and password for the
password, both in lower case
letters.

The access point user interface
displays.

c. Select Configuration > System > Basic > General from the menu. Fill in

the Access Point Name field and select your Country/Region of
operation from the drop-down list.

d. Select Configuration > IP > IP Settings from the menu and configure

the IP settings for your network.

e. If you use DHCP, reserve an IP address (based on the access point’s

MAC address) on the DHCP server. You can then use that address to log
in to the access point.

f. Select Configuration > Wireless > Basic > Wireless Settings and

select the Turn Radio On setting.

g. Select Configuration > Security > Profile Settings and configure

security profiles for your network.

See the online help or the Reference Manual for full instructions.

3. Test wireless connectivity.
Using a PC with a wireless adapter, verify that you can establish a wireless

connection to the access point.
Now that you have finished the setup, you are ready to deploy the access

point in your network. If needed, you can reconfigure the PC you used in step
1 back to its original TCP/IP settings.

Deploy the Access Point

1. Disconnect the access point and position it where you will deploy it. The best
location is elevated such as wall or ceiling mounted, at the center of your
wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all mobile devices. Make
sure the dome side of the AP points toward users.

Note: DO NOT place the AP in a false ceiling space facing up.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your access point to a LAN port on your
router, switch, or hub.

3. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power
adapter into a power outlet. The Power and LAN LEDs should go on.

English

Tip: The access point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). If you
have a switch that provides PoE, you do not need to use the power
adapter to power the access point. This can be especially convenient
when the access point is installed in a high location far from a power
outlet.

Verify Wireless Connectivity

Using a computer with an 802.11b/g/n wireless adapter, verify connectivity by
using a browser to connect to the Internet, or check for file and printer access on
your network.

Note: If you cannot connect, see Troubleshooting Tips in this guide or the
Reference Manual.

If You Use an External Antenna

To use an external 2.4 GHz antenna:

1. Mount the accessory antenna(s).

2. Attach the antenna(s) to the connector(s) on the access point rear panel.

3. Log into the access point and configure it to use the external antenna. The
access point cannot use the internal and external 2.4GHz antennas at the
same time.

Troubleshooting Tips

No LEDs are lit on the access point.

The wireless access point has no power.

• Make sure the power cord is connected to the wireless access point and
plugged in to a working power outlet or power strip.

• Make sure you are using the correct NETGEAR power adapter supplied with
your wireless access point.

• If using PoE, ensure that the PoE switch is providing power to the access
point.

The LINK/ACT LED is not on.

There is a hardware connection problem.

• Make sure the cable connectors are securely plugged in to the access point
and to the network device (hub, switch, or router).

English

• Make sure the connected device is turned on. If the Ethernet link is a 10 Mbps
link, then the 10/100/1000 light is off, but the Link/Act light blinks if traffic is
present.

The WLAN LEDs are off.

The wireless connection is not working.

• If a Wireless LAN activity LED stays off, disconnect the power adapter from its
power source and then plug it in again.

• Log in to the access point and verify that the radio is turned on.

• Contact NETGEAR if the Wireless LAN LED remains off.

I cannot configure the access point from a browser.

Check these items:

• The access point is correctly installed, it is powered on, and LAN connections
are OK. Check that the LAN LED is on to verify that the Ethernet connection is
OK.

• If you are using the Net BIOS name of the access point to connect, ensure that
your PC and the access point are on the same network segment or that there
is a WINS server on your network.

• If your PC uses a fixed (static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP address
in the range of the access point. The access point default IP address is

192.168.0.100 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The access
point default setting is for a static IP address. If the network where you are
connecting it is using DHCP, configure it accordingly. See the Reference
Manual for details.

I cannot access the Internet or the LAN with a wireless capable
computer.

There is a configuration problem. Check these items:

• You might not have restarted the computer with the wireless adapter to have
TCP/IP changes take effect. Restart the computer.

• The computer with the wireless adapter might not have the correct TCP/IP
settings to communicate with the network. Restart the computer and check
that TCP/IP is set up correctly for that network. The usual setting for Windows
on the Network Properties is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically.”

• The wireless access point’s default values might not work with your network.
Check the wireless access point default configuration against the
configuration of other devices in your network.

• For full instructions on changing the default values of the wireless access
point, see the Reference Manual.
