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 network uses dynamic IP
addresses, 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 the 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 Ethernet 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.
