Verifying Wireless Connectivity; Logging In Using The Default Ip Address - NETGEAR WNDAP350 Reference Manual

Note: By default, WNDAP350 is set with the DHCP client disabled. If your
network uses dynamic IP addresses, you must change this setting. To
connect to the WNDAP350 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
WNDAP350.
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 or 802.11a/na wireless adapter with the correct
wireless settings needed to connect to the WNDAP350 (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 default SSID
for the 802.11a/na mode is NETGEAR_11a. The SSID of any wireless access adapters must
match the SSID configured in the ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless N Access Point WNDAP350.
If they do not match, no wireless connection will be made.
Note: If you are unable to connect, see
Debugging.

192.168.1.1 with DHCP disabled.
Note: The computer you are using to connect to the WNDAP350 should be
configured with an IP address that starts with 192.168.0.x and a
Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
