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.
DESKTOP-99C75A6 (the modem/router)
HUAWEI_P30-9a16fcae1a0262 (phone)
amazon-e0bf75af2 (firestick i think)
NPI26D808 (printer)
Just seems very odd the wireless connection works but I can't access its settings :-( just not secure to run it without a password I could have it without a password but we have students & we don't wont them on our internet when we have them
You might consider a factory reset of the WNAP210 as per the User Manual.
On a reboot, I would guess the device will pick-up an IP address from the router's DHCP server.
If not, manually configure a computer, e.g. your windows system network interface (the one you can connect to that network) e.g. to the 192.168.0.123 IP address, MAsk 255.255.255.0, DEfault Gateway does ot matter try 192.168.0.1 ... then open the browser using the WNAP210 default LAN IP address to get to it's management interface.
as said before a few times I am thick & not technically minded if you can break it down for me really simple step by step in crayon if possible I will do what you said

Check the current setting for automatic/DHCP - you have to return to this later again - otherwise no more Internet.
okay but where can I find this information ?
IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway, and DNS serverIP 192.168.0.123
Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.0.1 (irrelevant for this temporary setting)DNS 192.168.0.1 (irrelevant for this temporary setting)
Apply (don't tick the test Internet or whatever connection).
Now open a Web browser on http://192.168.0.239/ (when I have it right - check the docs) - this should open the access point Web UI.
If not, try a factory reset - there is certainly a reset button (small hole) - again, check the docs. Let some time to reboot.
If this does not cure, return the network settings to the previous status (automatic).Please understand I'm not Netgear - just a Netgear owner in Switzerland.
cheers for trying to help but its not working guess I will have to wait for netgear to get back to me & answer the support ticket I have open with them
only thing I can think of is if I was to take this wireless access point around someones house & use there setup to get a password on it will the password still be there when I bring it back home & will it still work ?Have tried to do a reset (rest button, about 10..15 seconds) and wait for the reboot?
Not sure how these elderly access points are configured following the factory default.
I would assume it will get an address from the router (or whatever DHCP server), then it should be reachable from a Web browser in plain http on that dfault IP. The configuration (eg. network name /SSID, and wireless security settings) would be retained of configured on a different network.
