Your web browser finds the access point and displays the General Settings screen.

Install the Access Point

Before installing the access point, make sure that your Ethernet network is up and working. You will be connecting the access point to the Ethernet network so that computers with 802.11b/g/n wireless adapters will be able to communicate with computers on the Ethernet network. In order for this to work correctly, verify that you have met all of the system requirements, shown in System Requirements on page 7.

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

NETGEAR recommends that you configure the access point in this sequence:

1.Specify your country or region.

2.Set the time.

3.Set the basic IP options.

4.Configure the wireless settings.

5.Deploy the access point.

Configure the System Settings for Your Location

When you log in, the Configuration tab is selected and the General screen is displayed. This is where you specify your location. The access point uses this setting to determine which channels should be used for wireless communication.
