NETGEAR Wireless N150 Access Point WN604 Reference Manual
2-10 Basic Installation and Configuration
v1.0, March 2010
2. Lift the antennae on either side so that they are vertical.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from your WN604 Wireless Access Point to a LAN port on your
router, switch, or hub.
4. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power adapter in to a
power outlet. The PWR, LAN, and Wireless LAN lights and should light up.
Verifying Wireless Connectivity
Using a computer with an 802.11b/bg/ng wireless adapter with the correct wireless settings needed
to connect to the WN604 (SSID, WEP/WPA, MAC ACL, etc.), verify connectivity by using a
browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer to browse the Internet, or check for file and
printer access on your network.
The default SSID for the 802.11b/bg/ng wireless mode is NETGEAR-11g. The SSID of any
wireless access adapters must match the SSID configured in the NETGEAR Wireless N150
Access Point WN604. If they do not match, no wireless connection will be made.
Note: Refer to the antenna positioning and wireless mode configuration information
in the Advanced Configuration chapter of the Reference Manual.
Note: By default, WN604 is set with the DHCP client disabled. If your network uses
dynamic IP addresses, you must change this setting. To connect to the WN604
after the DHCP server on your network assigns it a new IP address, enter the
wireless access point name into your Web browser. The default wireless access
point name is netgearxxxxxx, where xxxxxx represents the last 6 bytes of the
MAC address. The default name is printed on the bottom label of the WN604.
Note: If you are unable to connect, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting and Debugging.”
