I just have bought THREE wn370 to realize that I need to buy also a @#!? additional "machine" to have them configured. Is there any other mean to configure them? telnet? https? ftp?. When they first are powered I presume they send a DHCP discover and "WireSharking" the communications (yes, I have a primitive HUB not SWITCH that can propagate packets) so I could know their IPs. No chance?

    Hi,

    WN370 can only be managed and configured by the following WLAN controllers.

    WC7500, WC7600, WC7600v2, WC9500. You have to buy one of these controllers to make WN370 work, and there is no other option to configure it.

      So no chance with the "http://192.168.0.160" that is used to obtain the logs when a WC cannot discover the unit? :

       

      The WC7600 Cannot Discover or Manage the Access
      Point
      If the WC7600 cannot discover or manage the access point, you can log in to the
      access point to troubleshoot and download the system log. NETGEAR support will
      use the system log to help diagnose any problems with the access point.
      Note:
      The WN370 has DHCP enabled by default and receives an IP address if you
      have a DHCP server in your network. If you have a DHCP server in your network,
      use the address assigned to the WN370 to log in to the access point.
      To log in to the access point and download the system log:
      1.Configure a computer with the following IP options:
      •IP address. 192.168.0.22
      •Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
      •Default gateway. 192.168.0.1
      2.Enter http://192.168.0.160 or your access point’s assigned IP address into a
      browser.
      3.Log in to the access point using the following default credentials:
      •ID. admin
      •Password. password
