elsewhere on your network, install

it now.

Note: If you have multiple WGE101 bridges in your network and want to use the default IP

address of 192.168.0.201, only one bridge can use this default IP address. You’ll have to create

IP addresses for each bridge using 192.168.0.yyy, where yyy is a unique number for each

device.

Using the NetBIOS Name

If you’re familiar with using a device’s NetBIOS name, you may use it in the Internet browser

instead of the IP address to access the configuration software. The WGE101 NetBIOS name is

netgearxxxx, where xxxx stands for the last four digits of the WGE101 MAC address, which is

found on the bridge’s label.
