Deploy the Access Point

Before mounting the access point in a high location, first set up and test the access point to

verify wireless network connectivity.

By default, the DHCP client is disabled in the access point. If your ne

twork uses dynamic IP

addre

sses, you must change this setting. To connect to the access point after the DHCP

server on your network assigns it a new IP address, enter the access point name in your web

browser. The default name is netgearxxxxxx, where xxxxxx represents the last 6 bytes of the

MAC address. The default name is printed on the product label.

 To deploy the access point:

1. Disconnect th

e access point from the computer that you used to configure it, and put the

access point where it will be deployed.

The best location is elevated, such as on a wall or ceiling 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 Ethern

et cable from your access point to a LAN port on your router, switch, or

hub.

3. Connect the

power adapter to the wireless access point, and plug the power adapter into a

power outlet. The Power and LAN LEDs light, and the WLAN LED blinks.
