wg602v4 setup
Ok im trying to do the setup procees tht came with the instructions... I get to step 2a and it says enter 192.168.0.227 and i do but nothing happens! It talks about changing the static ip address and...
First, I misspoke. 255.255.255.0 was the Subnet Mask, not the Gateway.
In fact, Gateway is NOT instructed to be set to anything according to the instructions. Here is the latest downloaded from the netgear site:
First, Set Up the WG602v4
1. CONNECT THE WIRELESS ACCESS POINT TO YOUR COMPUTER AND
MODEM
a. Unpack the box and verify the contents.
b. 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.
c. Connect an Ethernet cable from
the WG602v4 to the PC (point A).
d. Securely insert the other end of the
cable into the WG602v4 Ethernet
port (point B).
e. Connect the Power Adapter from
the WG602v4 to an AC power
outlet.
Note: Only connect your wireless access point using the power supply provided with the WG602v4.
f. Turn on your computer and verify the LED behavior on the front of the wireless access point.
• Power. The power light should be lit. If the power light is not lit,
check the connections and to see if the power outlet is controlled by a wall
switch that is turned off.
• Ethernet. The Ethernet (LAN) light on the WG602v4 should be lit
(amber for a 10 Mbps connection and green for a 100 Mbps connection). If
not, make sure the Ethernet cable is securely attached at both ends.
• WLAN. The wireless light should be lit.
