Introduction
This chapter describes some of the key features of the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access
Point WNDAP350. It also includes the minimum prerequisites for installation (“System
Requirements” on page 1-5.), package contents (“What’s In the Box?” on page 1-6) and a
description of the front and back panels of the WNDAP350 (“Hardware Description” on
page 1-6).
About the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point
WNDAP350
The ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350is the basic building block of a
wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and radio-
equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices.
The WNDAP350 provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a
fixed range or area of coverage, interacting with a wireless network interface card (NIC) via an
antenna. Typically, an individual in-building access point provides a maximum connectivity area
of about a 500 foot radius. Consequently, the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point
WNDAP350 can support a small group of users in a range of several hundred feet. Most access
points can handle between 10 to 32 users simultaneously per radio.
The WNDAP350 wirelss access point acts as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless
clients. Connecting multiple WNDAP350s via a wired Ethernet backbone can further lengthen the
wireless network coverage. As a mobile computing device moves out of the range of one access
point, it moves into the range of another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one
Access Point to another and still maintain seamless connection to the network.
Key Features and Standards
The WNDAP350 wirelss access point is easy-to-use and provides solid wireless and networking
support. It also offers a wide range of security options.
ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference Manual
1-2 Introduction
v1.1, November 2009
Supported Standards and Conventions
The following standards and conventions are supported:
•Standards Compliance. The Wireless Access Point complies with the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n
standards for Wireless LANs.
•Full WPA and WPA2 support. WPA and WPA2 enterprise-class strong security with
RADIUS and certificate authentication as well as dynamic encryption key generation.WPA-
PSK and WPA2-PSK preshared key authentication without the overhead of RADIUS servers
but with all of the strong security of WPA.
•Multiple BSSIDs. Supports multiple BSSIDs. When a wireless access point is connected to a
wired network and a set of wireless stations, it is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). The Basic
Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is a unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over
a WLAN that differentiates one WLAN from another when a mobile device tries to connect to
the network.
The multiple BSSID feature allows you to configure up to 8 SSIDs per Radio mode on your
access point and assign different configuration settings to each SSID. All the configured
SSIDs are active and the network devices can connect to the access point by using any of these
SSIDs.
•DHCP Client Support. DHCP provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon
request. The WNDAP350 can act as a client and obtain information from your DHCP server; it
can also act as a DHCP server and provide network information for wireless clients.
•SNMP Support. Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management
Information Base (MIB) management.
• 802.1Q VLAN (Virtual LAN) Support. A network of computers that behave as if they are
connected to the same network even though they actually may be physically located on
different segments of a LAN. VLANs are configured through software rather than hardware,
which makes them extremely flexible. VLANs are very useful for user/host management,
bandwidth allocation and resource optimization.
Key Features
The WNDAP350 provides solid functionality, including the following features:
•Dual Band Concurrent. The Wireless Access Point can operate in both the 2.4 GHz band and
the 5 GHz band concurrently.
The choice of band(s) is reflected in the protocol standard supported, as well as the
administration screens displayed to you.

Introduction 1-3
v1.1, November 2009
• Multiple operating modes:
– Wireless Access Point. Operates as a standard 802.11a/an or 11b/bg/ng access point.
– Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WNDAP350 only communicates with another
bridge-mode wireless access point (with or without clients). Network authentication
should be used to protect this communication.
– Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. Select this only if this WNDAP350 is the “Master” for a
group of bridge-mode wireless access points. The other bridge-mode wireless access
points send all traffic to this “Master”, and do not communicate directly with each other.
Network Authentication should be used to protect this traffic.
• Hotspot Settings. You can allow the first HTTP (TCP, port 80) request, on client association,
to be captured and redirected to the URL you specify.
•Upgradeable Firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory and can be upgraded easily,
using only your Web browser, and can be upgraded remotely. In addition to using Web
browser to do so, command-line interface and SNMP can also be used.
•Rogue AP detection. The Rogue AP detection feature shows a list of unknown APs to the
administrator.
•Access Control. The Access Control MAC address filtering feature can ensure that only
trusted wireless stations can use the WNDAP350 to gain access to your LAN.
•Security Profiles. When using multiple BSSIDs, you can configure unique security settings
(encryption, SSID, etc.) for each BSSID.
•Hidden Mode. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring only clients configured with the correct
SSID can connect.
•Secure Telnet Command Line Interface. The secure Telnet command line interface enables
direct secure access over the serial port and easy scripting of configuration of multiple
WNDAP350s across an extensive network via the Ethernet interface. An SSH client is
required.
•Configuration Backup. Configuration settings can be backed up to a file and restored.
•Power over Ethernet. Power can be supplied to the WNDAP350 over the Ethernet port from
any 802.3af compliant mid-span or end-span source. Please refer to the Appendix for a list of
compliant Netgear PoE switches.
•Autosensing Ethernet Connection with Auto Uplink Interface. Connects to 10/100/1000
Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks.
•LED Indicators. Power/Test, LAN speed, LAN activity, and wireless activity for each radio
mode are easily identified.
ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference Manual
1-4 Introduction
v1.1, November 2009
• Wireless Multimedia (WMM) Support. WMM is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM
allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data. Time-
dependent information, like video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For
WMM to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WMM.
• WMM Power Save Support. Power Save uses mechanisms from 802.11e and legacy 802.11
to save power (for battery powered equipment) and fine-tune power consumption.
• VLAN Security Profiles. Each Security Profile can be assigned a VLAN ID as each Security
Profile is modified.
802.11a/b/g/n Standards-based Wireless Networking
The ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 provides a bridge between Ethernet
wired LANs and 802.11a/b/g/n compatible wireless LAN networks. It provides connectivity
between Ethernet wired networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop
systems, print servers, and other devices. Additionally, the WNDAP350 supports the following
wireless features:
• Aggregation Support
• Reduced Inter Frame Spacing support
• Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) support
• Distributed coordinated function (CSMA/CA, Back off procedure, ACK procedure,
retransmission of unacknowledged frames)
• RTS/CTS handshake
• Beacon generation
• Packet fragmentation and reassembly
• Auto or long preamble
• Roaming among access points on the same subnet
Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink
The WNDAP350 can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is autosensing
and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The wireless access point incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. The Ethernet port will
automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a “normal”
connection such as to a computer or an “uplink” connection such as to a switch or hub. That port
will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates any concerns
about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right
connection.

Basic Installation and Configuration
This chapter describes how to set up your ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point
WNDAP350for wireless connectivity to your LAN. This basic configuration will enable
computers with 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n wireless adapters to do such things as connect to the
Internet, or access printers and files on your LAN.
This chapter contains the following sections:
1. “Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines
2. “Understanding WNDAP350 Wireless Security Options
3. “Installing the WNDAP350 wirelss access point
4. “Logging In Using the Default IP Address

Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11b/bg/ng or 802.11a/na wireless
networks at ranges of several hundred feet or more. This distance can allow for
others outside your area to access your network. It is important to take appropriate
steps to secure your network from unauthorized access. The WNDAP350 wirelss
access point provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail
in “Understanding Security Profiles” on page 2-23. Deploy the security features
appropriate to your needs.

You need to prepare these three things before you can establish a connection through your wireless
access point:
• A location for the WNDAP350 that conforms to the “Wireless Equipment Placement and
Range Guidelines below.
• The wireless access point connected to your LAN through a device such as a hub, switch,
router, or Cable/DSL gateway.
• One or more computers with properly configured 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n wireless adapters.
Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines
The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the
physical placement of the wireless access point. The latency, data throughput performance, and
notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration
choices.
For best results, place your wireless access point:
• Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have line-of-
sight access (even if through walls).
• Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones.
• Away from large metal surfaces.
The antenna provides better coverage above the access point. Place the access point so that it is
either ceiling mounted or mounted on a wall facing the users.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation
or inability to wirelessly connect to the WNDAP350. For complete performance
specifications, see Appendix A, “Default Settings and Technical Specifications.”
ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference Manual
Basic Installation and Configuration 2-3
v1.1, November 2009
If you are using multiple access points for 11b/bg/ng, it is better if adjacent access points use
different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended Channel spacing
between adjacent access points is 5 Channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11). For
11a/na, the 6 Channel spacing is not needed.
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement. Some types of security connections can take slightly longer to establish
and can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.
Understanding WNDAP350 Wireless Security Options
Your wireless data transmissions can be received well beyond your walls by anyone with a
compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The
WNDAP350 wirelss access point provides highly effective security features which are covered in
detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
Figure 2-1
There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:
•Restrict Access Based on MAC address. You can restrict access to only trusted PCs so that
unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the WNDAP350. MAC address filtering adds an
obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link
is fully exposed.
ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference Manual
2-4 Basic Installation and Configuration
v1.1, November 2009
•Turn Off the Broadcast of the Wireless Network Name (SSID). If you disable broadcast of
the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless
network “discovery” feature of some products such as Windows XP, Vista and Unix systems
but the data is still fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test equipment like
wireless sniffers.
•Use WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP
open authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined
eavesdropper.
•Use WPA or WPA-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data
security. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame rekeying of WPA make
it virtually impossible to compromise. Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver
and software availability may be limited.
Installing the WNDAP350 wirelss access point
Before installing the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350, you should make
sure that your Ethernet network is up and working. You will be connecting the access point to the
Ethernet network so that computers with 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n wireless adapters will be able to
communicate with computers on the Ethernet network. In order for this to work correctly, verify
that you have met all of the system requirements, shown on “System Requirements” on page 1-5.
Setting up the WNDAP350 wirelss access point
To set up the WNDAP350 wirelss access point:
1. Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter. If this computer is already part of your network,
record its TCP/IP configuration settings.
Note: WEP and TKIP provide only legacy rates of operation. So, AES is the
recommended solution to use the 802.11n rates and speed.
Tip: Before mounting the WNDAP350 in a high location, first set up and test the
WNDAP350 to verify wireless network connectivity.

–11ng – All 11b, 11g, and 11ng wireless stations can be used. This is the default. If you
select this option, then two additional options, Channel Width and Guard Interval, are
displayed.
•Turn Radio On. On by default, you can also turn off the radio to disable access through
this device. This can be helpful for configuration, network tuning, or troubleshooting
activities.
•Wireless Network Name (SSID). This is the name of your wireless network. It is set to
the default name of NETGEAR_11a for 802.11a/n and NETGEAR_11g for 802.11b/bg/
ng.
•Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID). If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only
devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network
“discovery” feature of some products such as Windows XP, Vista and Unix systems but
the data is still fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test equipment like
wireless sniffers. Default is enabled.
•Channel/Frequency. From the pull-down menu, select the channel you wish to use on
your wireless LAN. The wireless channel in use will be between 1 to 11 for US and
Canada, 1 to 13 for Europe and Australia. The default is channel Auto.
It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you experience
interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow data transfers). Should this happen,
you may need to experiment with different channels to see which is the best. Alternatively,
you can select the Auto channel option for the AP to intelligently pick the channel with
least interference. See the article on “Wireless Channels” available on the NETGEAR
website. (A link to this article and other articles of interest can be found in Appendix B,
“Related Documents.”). When selecting or changing channels, some points to bear in
mind:
– Access points use a fixed channel. You can select the channel used. This allows you to
choose a channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the
USA and Canada, 11 channels are available
– If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent
access points is 5 channels (for example, use channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
Note: If you select one of these option and if other settings on this screen are
disabled, then you must select the Turn Radio On radio button to
enable available options on this screen.

•Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID). If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only
devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network
“discovery” feature of some products such as Windows XP, Vista and Unix systems but
the data is still fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test equipment like
wireless sniffers. Default is enabled.
•Channel/Frequency. From the pull-down menu, select the channel you wish to use on
your wireless LAN. The default is Auto. When you select Auto as the Channel Frequency,
then the only available Channel Width is Dynamic: 20/40MHz.
It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you experience
interference (shown by lost connections and/or slow data transfers). Should this happen,
you may want to experiment with different channels to see which is the best. See the
article on “Wireless Channels” available on the NETGEAR website. (A link to this article
and other articles of interest can be found in Appendix B, “Related Documents.”). When
selecting or changing channels, some points to bear in mind:
– Access points use a fixed channel. You can select the channel used. This allows you to
choose a channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the
USA and Canada, 8 channels are available.
– If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different
channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent
access points is 8 channels (for example, use channels 36 and 44, or 44 and 52).
– In “Infrastructure” mode, wireless stations normally scan all channels, looking for an
access point. If more than one access point can be used, the one with the strongest
signal is used. This can only occur when the various access points are using the same
SSID.
•MCS Index/Data Rate. From the pull-down menu, select the transmit data rate of the
wireless network. Also, depending on the band selected, the set of rates will vary. The
default is Best.
The possible data rates supported are:
Note: Data rate is selected using MCS Index. The actual data rate is computed based
on MCS Index, Channel Width, and Guard Interval. When Channel Width
selected is Dynamic 20/40MHz or when Guard Interval is selected is Auto,
then the data rate for a client depends on associated clients channel width and
guard interval capabilities.

Configuring Advanced QoS Settings
Wireless Multimedia Extension (WME) or Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a subset of the 802.11e
standard. WME allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the type of data.
Time-dependent information, such as video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For
WME to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WME.
Figure 4-5 shows the Quality of Service (QoS) screen. For most networks, the default QoS queue
parameter settings work well.Quality of Service provides you with the ability to specify
parameters on multiple queues for increased throughput and better performance of differentiated
wireless traffic, like Voice-over-IP (VoIP), other types of audio, video, and streaming media, as
well as traditional IP data.
To configure advanced QoS settings, on the Configuration tab select Wireless, select Advanced,
and then select QoS Settings. The QoS Settings screen dis pa lys:
