Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless Access Point 802.11g WG302
Viewing a List of Attached Devices
The Available Wireless Station List contains a table of all IP devices associated with the wireless access point in the wireless network defined by the Wireless Network Name (SSID). From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Information heading, click the Available Wireless Station List link to view the list, shown below.
For each device, the table shows the Station ID, MAC address, IP Address, and Status (whether the device is allowed to communicate with the wireless access point or not).
Note that if the wireless access point is rebooted, the table data is lost until the wireless access point rediscovers the devices. To force the wireless access point to look for associated devices, click the Refresh button.
Note: A wireless network can include multiple wireless access points, all using the same network name (SSID). This enables extending the reach of the wireless network and allows users to roam from one access point to another, providing seamless network connectivity. Under these circumstances, be aware that only the stations associated with this access point will be presented in the Available Station List.
Upgrading the Wireless Access Point Software
.
Note: When uploading software to the WG302 Access Point, it is important not to interrupt the Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If the browser is interrupted, the upload may fail, corrupt the software, and render the WG302 completely inoperable.
You cannot perform the firmware upgrade from a workstation connected to the WG302 via a wireless link. The firmware upgrade must be performed via a workstation connected to the WG302 via the Ethernet LAN interface.
The software of the WG302 Access Point is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from Netgear's Web site. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the image (.RMG) file before sending it to the wireless access point. The upgrade file can be sent using your browser.
