•If the Wireless LAN activity light stays off, disconnect the adapter from its power source and then plug it in again.

•Contact NETGEAR if the WLAN light remains off.

I cannot configure the access point from a browser.

Check these items:

•The WN802T is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered on. Check that the LAN port LED is blinking green to verify that the Ethernet connection is OK.

•If you are using the NetBIOS name of the WN802T to connect (DHCP Client is enabled), ensure that your PC and the WN802T are on the same network segment or that there is a WINS server on your network. Using the default NetBIOS name: netgearxxxxxx, where

xxxxxxis the last 6 digits of the wireless access point MAC address; or, if you have modified the name, make sure you have input it correctly. (The name may be up to 15 characters long.)

•If DHCP is not enabled, make sure you are using the correct LAN IP Address to access the wireless access point, and that you are on the same network segment.

•If DHCP is enabled, and you cannot connect using the default NetBIOS name, configure your DHCP server (either built into the router or a separate server) with a reserve IP (based on the wireless access point’s MAC address). You can then use it to create a fixed IP for the wireless access point.

•If you have not yet deployed the wireless access point, and it is connected to your PC via an Ethernet cable, make sure the connection is secure, and that you have configured your PC with

astatic IP in the same subnet as the LAN IP of wireless access point. The default static IP address to use for your PC is 192.168.0.210; the default wireless access point LAN IP is 192.168.0.233; and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.

I cannot access the Internet or the LAN with a wireless capable computer.

There is a configuration problem. Check these items:

•You may not have restarted the computer with the wireless adapter to have TCP/IP changes take effect. Restart the computer.
