NETGEAR WGE101 Reference Manual page 23

Symptom
My bridge-enabled
computer could not
communicate with
my wireless-enabled
computer or printer.
I can't get the
configuration utility
to show the bridge.
or
I can't open the
configuration
software with my
browser.
I have a gaming
console, computer,
and the bridge
connected through a
switch. The
computer connects
to the Internet but
the gaming console
can't.
Note: For more troubleshooting information, go to the NETGEAR, Inc. web site.
Cause
This most likely is a
network configuration
problem.
This could be a network
configuration problem or
a hardware connection
problem.
If using a switch or hub
with an Ethernet-enabled
gaming console, the
gaming console must be
powered on before the
other Ethernet-enabled
devices.
Solution
• Check that the wireless-enabled
computer or printer is on the same
wireless network as the computer
using the bridge.
• Make sure the Network Name
(SSID), WEP key (if WEP is
enabled), and country/region
selection are the same for all devices
connected to the same wireless
network.
• If the computer is connected to the
bridge through a switch or hub, try
connecting it directly to the bridge.
• If the wireless LAN setting are
correct, make sure all the devices
are on the same IP network.
• Make sure the Ethernet cable
connectors are plugged into the
computer and bridge securely.
• You may need to change the IP
address of your computer
temporarily to change the bridge's
IP address. See page 8.
• Reset to factory defaults. See pg.18.
• With power on, disconnect
everything from the switch or hub.
Re-connect the WGE101, then
connect the game console(s).
Finally, connect the other
device(s).
