AC2000 802.11ac Wireless Access Point/Router WAC124

Check the WiFi settings of your computer or mobile device

If you connect over WiFi to the access point/router, make sure that the WiFi settings on
your computer or mobile device and the access point/router match exactly. The access
point/router's default SSID is NETGEAR-1 and the default passphrase is sharedsecret.
Note: If you set up an access control list on the access point/router, you must add each
computer or mobile device to the access control list (see Enable and manage network
access control on page 83).
Check the DHCP network settings of your computer or
mobile device
Make sure that the network settings of the computer or mobile device with which you
want to connect to the access point/router are correct:
• Router mode. If the access point/router is in router mode (the default system mode),
make sure that the IP address of your computer or mobile device is on the same
subnet as the LAN subnet of the access point/router. If you are using the default
addressing scheme, your device's address is in the range of 192.168.0.2 to
192.168.0.254.
• Access point mode. If the access point/router is in access point mode, the LAN
subnet to which your computer or device connects depends on the type of connection
to the access point/router:
- Directly connected. If you are directly connected over WiFi or an Ethernet cable
to the access point/router network, make sure that the IP address of your computer
or mobile device is on the same subnet as the LAN subnet of the access
point/router. If you are using the default addressing scheme, your device's address
is in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
- Connected to the same network but not directly connected. If you are not
directly connected to the access point/router, make sure that the IP address of
your computer or mobile device is on the same subnet as the LAN subnet of the
existing network router to which the access point/router is connected.
Most computers and mobile devices function as DHCP clients. If your computer or
mobile device does not, enable its DHCP client so that is can obtain an IP address
automatically using DHCP.
