how do I setup a netgear prosafe wireless-N access point WNAP210 ?
Hello this is my first post here & I am not sure if this is the right spot to ask I have a netgear prosafe wireless-N access point WNAP210 I am very thick & not technically minded how do I get...
Did some brief reading - as per the WNAP210 user manual, in factory default config, the DHCP client is disabled, and the LAN IP is 192.168.0.236:
===
The access point password is password, the access point DHCP client is disabled, the
default LAN IP address is 192.168.0.236, and the access point name is reset to the name
printed on the label on the bottom of the unit.
===So it might be required again to reconfigure the network interface (the one used to connect to the router/LAN) to this 192.168.0.123/255.255.255.0 as explained before.
I have plugged in another power adapter & the lights seem to have settled down along the front of it
power is allways on green (not flashing)
tick is not lit
WIFI symbol is flashing blue
the one with the 3 boxes is green occasionaly flickers
still no idea how to get into its settings
ok i got it working but its open connection so need to figure out how to get into its settings & password it

Use a Web browser and connect to the WNAP210 LAN IP address - which you can find from your DHCP server logs/attached devices list on your router for example. Don't forget to make a reservation to this address will be always the same - and document accordingly.
as said I am thick & not technically minded so I don't know how to do what you said
Connect to the access point by entering the default address of http://192.168.0.236 into
your browser
but it wont work it keeps saying site cant be reached took to long to respondWell, if you have it connected to your LAN and router, the router would have assigned an IP address matching the subnet. The default is only in place if you have a direct connection between a computer (where the interface must be manually configured into that same subnet 192.168.0.0/24 (255.255.255.0)) and/or no DHCP servers are on the LAN. That's OK for troubleshooting or some static config - but not good for the real world network management.
So open your undefined router Web UI, and check for Attached Devices, DHCP Table, System Logs with DHCP, ... however this is named - and find the wireless AP based on the MAC address printed on the WNAP210 label.
it is a ASUS DSL-AC68U
Wireless-AC1900
I can get into its settings but I dont know where in there the attached devices info is
