Deploying the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point

Now that you have completed the setup steps, you can deploy the WN802T v2 in your network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the computer you used in step 1 in “Configuring the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point” on page 2-2back to its original TCP/IP settings.

To deploy the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point:

1.Disconnect the WN802T v2 and position it where it will be deployed. The best location is elevated, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle, at the center of your wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices.

2.Connect an Ethernet cable from your NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point to a LAN port on your router, switch, or hub. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power adapter into a power outlet. The PWR, LAN, and Wireless LAN LEDs and should light up

Tip: Before mounting the WN802T v2 in a high location, first set up and test the WN802T v2 to verify wireless network connectivity.

Configuring and Testing Your PCs for Wireless Connectivity

Program the wireless adapter of your PCs to have the same SSID and channel that you configured for the WN802T v2 (see “Configuring Basic Wireless Settings”). Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the WN802T v2, when DHCP is enabled.

Note: If you are configuring the WN802T v2 from a wireless computer and you change the SSID, channel, or security profile settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the new settings.

Once your PCs have basic wireless connectivity to the WN802T v2, you can deploy the WN802T v2 and configure the advanced wireless security functions (see Chapter 3, “Wireless Security Settings”).
