Installation Guide
b. Connect an Ethernet cable from
the access point to the PC (point
Ain the illustration).
c. Securely insert the other end of
the cable into the access point
Ethernet port (point Bin the
illustration).
d. Connect the power adapter to the
access point and verify the
following:
Power. The Power LED blinks
when the access point is first
turned on. After a few seconds it should stay on (steady green). If after 30
seconds the Power LED is off or is still blinking, check the connections
and check to see if the power outlet is controlled by a wall switch that is
turned off.
ACTIVE. The ACTIVE LED blinks when there is network traffic.
LAN. The LAN LED indicates LAN speeds; green for 1000 Mbps, amber
for 100Mbps, and no light for 10Mbps.
2.4G Hz (WLAN). This LED indicates 2.4 G Hz traffic.
5 G Hz (WLAN). This LED indicates 5 G Hz traffic.
2. Configure LAN and wireless access
a. From your PC, configure the access point Ethernet port for LAN access.
Connect to the access point by opening your browser and entering
http://192.168.0.100 in the address field.
b. A login window displays. When
prompted, enter admin for the user
name and password for the
password, both in lower case
letters.
The access point user interface
displays.

c. Select Configuration > System > Basic > General from the menu. Fill in
the Access Point Name field and select your Country/Region of operation
from the drop-down list.
d. Select Configuration > IP > IP Settings from the menu and configure the
IP settings for your network.
e. If you use DHCP, reserve an IP address (based on the access point’s MAC
address) on the DHCP server. You can then use that address to log in to
the access point.
f. Select Configuration > Wireless > Basic > Wireless Settings and select
the Turn Radio On setting.
g. Select Configuration > Security > Profile Settings and configure security
profiles for your network.
See the online help or the Reference Manual for full instructions.
3. Test wireless connectivity.
Using a PC with a wireless adapter, verify that you can establish a wireless
connection to the access point.
Now that you have finished the setup, you are ready to deploy the access point
in your network. If needed, you can reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back
to its original TCP/IP settings.
Deploy the Access Point
1. Disconnect the access point and position it where you will deploy it. The best
location is elevated such as wall or ceiling mounted, at the center of your
wireless coverage area, and within line of sight of all 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 should go on.
Tip: The access point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). If you have
a switch that provides PoE, you do not need to use the power adapter
to power the access point. This can be especially convenient when the
access point is installed in a high location far from a power outlet.

Set Up the Access Point
Follow these instructions to set up your wireless access point. Before proceeding
with the WNDAP360 installation, familiarize yourself with the contents of the
Resource CD. See the Reference Manual for instructions on advanced
configuration options.
Estimated Completion Time: 3 minutes.
Tip: Before mounting the access point in a high location, first set up
and test the unit to verify wireless network connectivity.
1. Connect the wireless access point to your computer.
a. Prepare a PC with an Ethernet adapter. If this PC is already part of your
network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings. Configure the PC with a
static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.

Verify Wireless Connectivity
Using a computer with an 802.11b/g/n wireless adapter, verify connectivity by using
a browser to connect to the Internet, or check for file and printer access on your
network.
Note: If you cannot connect, see Troubleshooting Tips in this guide or the
Reference Manual.
If You Use an External Antenna
To use an external 2.4 GHz antenna:
1. Mount the accessory antenna(s).
2. Attach the antenna(s) to the connector(s) on the access point rear panel.
3. Log into the access point and configure it to use the external antenna. The
access point cannot use the internal and external 2.4GHz antennas at the
same time.
Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems you may have.
No LEDs are lit on the access point.
The wireless access point has no power.
Make sure the power cord is connected to the wireless access point and
plugged in to a working power outlet or power strip.
Make sure you are using the correct NETGEAR power adapter supplied with
your wireless access point.
If using PoE, ensure that the PoE switch is providing power to the access point.
The LINK/ACT LED is not on.
There is a hardware connection problem.
Make sure the cable connectors are securely plugged in to the access point and
to the network device (hub, switch, or router).
Make sure the connected device is turned on. If the Ethernet link is a 10 Mbps
link, then the 10/100/1000 light is off, but the Link/Act light blinks if traffic is
present.
The WLAN LEDs are off.
The wireless connection is not working.
If a Wireless LAN activity LED stays off, disconnect the power adapter from its
power source and then plug it in again.
Log in to the access point and verify that the radio is turned on.
Contact NETGEAR if the Wireless LAN LED remains off.
I cannot configure the access point from a browser.
Check these items:
The access point is correctly installed, it is powered on, and LAN connections
are OK. Check that the LAN LED is on to verify that the Ethernet connection is
OK.
If you are using the Net BIOS name of the access point to connect, ensure that
your PC and the access point are on the same network segment or that there is
a WINS server on your network.
If your PC uses a fixed (static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP address
in the range of the access point. The access point default IP address is
192.168.0.100 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The access point
default setting is for a static IP address. If the network where you are connecting
it is using DHCP, configure it accordingly. See the Reference Manual for details.
I cannot access the Internet or the LAN with a wireless capable
computer.
There is a configuration problem. Check these items:
You might not have restarted the computer with the wireless adapter to have
TCP/IP changes take effect. Restart the computer.
The computer with the wireless adapter might not have the correct TCP/IP
settings to communicate with the network. Restart the computer and check that
TCP/IP is set up correctly for that network. The usual setting for Windows on the
Network Properties is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically.”
The wireless access point’s default values might not work with your network.
Check the wireless access point default configuration against the configuration
of other devices in your network.
For full instructions on changing the default values of the wireless access point,
see the Reference Manual.
