• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Placement and Range Guidelines
Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11 wireless networks at a maximum range of several hundred feet for 802.11b/ g devices. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly, based on the physical placement of the wireless access point.
For best results, identify a location for your wireless access point according to these guidelines:
• Away from potential sources of interference, such as PCs, large metal surfaces, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf that is near the center of the wireless coverage area for all mobile devices.
iii v1.0, May 2006
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the wireless access point.
RF Exposure Warning for North America, and Australia

About This Manual
Chapter 1
Introduction
This chapter introduces the NETGEAR® ProSafe™ 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2.
The WG302v2 is 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 wireless access point provides wireless connectivity within about a 300-foot radius. The wireless access point can support up to 40 users simultaneously.
The WG302v2 acts as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless clients. You can connect multiple wireless access points via a wired Ethernet backbone to add more wireless network coverage. As a wireless 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.
The auto-sensing capability of the ProSafe 802.11g allows packet transmission at up to 108 Mbps, or at reduced speeds to compensate for distance or electromagnetic interference.
Key Features
The ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point is easy-to-use and provides solid wireless and networking support.
Supported Standards and Conventions
The following standards and conventions are supported:
• Standards Compliant. The Wireless Access Point complies with IEEE 802.11b/g standards for Wireless LANs.
• WEP support. Includes support for 64-bit, 128-bit, and 152-bit WEP keys.
• 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 pre-shared key authentication without the overhead of RADIUS servers but with all of the strong security of WPA.
Introduction 1-1 v1.0, May 2006
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
• Multiple BSSIDs. Support for multiple BSSIDs. When one AP is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless stations, it is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). The Basic
Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is a 32-character 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.
• DHCP Client and Server Support. DHCP provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The WG302v2 can obtain network information from a DHCP server on your network. The AP 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.
WG302v2 Key Features
The WG302v2 provides solid functionality, including these features:
• Multiple Operating Modes
– Wireless Access Point. Operates as a standard 802.11b/g wireless access point.
– Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WG302v2 communicates with another bridge-mode wireless station.
– Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. This mode allows the WG302v2 to bridge to several other access points at the same time.
– Wireless Repeater. In this mode, the WG302v2 operates as both a wireless access point and a wireless bridge.
• Rogue Access Point Detection. For enhanced security, you can scan the wireless network to detect rogue access points.
• Hotspot Settings. You can allow all HTTP (TCP, port 80) requests to be captured and re-directed 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. You can also upgrade firmware from the command line interface (CLI) by using TFTP.
• Access Control. The Access Control MAC address filtering feature can ensure that only trusted wireless stations can use the WG302v2 to gain access to your LAN.
• Security Profiles. When using multiple BSSIDs, you can configure unique security settings
(encryption, SSID, etc.) for each BSSID.
1-2 Introduction v1.0, May 2006
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
• Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they are easy to change.
• Hidden Mode. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring only clients configured with the correct
SSID can connect.
• Configuration Backup. Configuration settings can be backed up to a file and restored.
• Secure and Economical Operation. Adjustable power output allows more secure or economical operation.
• Power over Ethernet. Power can be supplied to the WG302v2 over the Ethernet port from any 802.3af compliant mid-span or end-span source such as the NETGEAR FSM7326P
Managed Power over Ethernet Layer 3 managed switch.
• Autosensing Ethernet Connection with Auto Uplink™ Interface. Connects to 10/100
Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks.
• LED Indicators. Power, Test, LAN speed, LAN activity, and wireless activity are easily identified.
• Wireless Virtual LAN (VLAN) Support. VLANs enable a network of computers to behave as if they are connected to the same network even though they might actually 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.
• 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.
• Quality of Service (QoS) Support. You can configure parameters that affect traffic flowing from the access point to the client station and traffic flowing from the client station to the access point. The QoS feature allows you to prioritize traffic, such as voice and video traffic, so that packets do not get dropped.

Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11b/g wireless networks at ranges of several hundred feet or more. This distance can allow others outside your area to access your network. It is important to take appropriate steps to secure your network from unauthorized access. The ProSafe 802.11g provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail on the NETGEAR Web site. For more
information, see Appendix A, “Related Documents
. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
You need to prepare the following three things before you can establish a connection through your wireless access point:
•
A location for the WG302v2 that conforms to the Wireless Equipment Placement and Range
described in this chapter.
• A wired connection from the WG302v2 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 wireless adapters.
System Requirements
Before you install the WG302v2, make sure you have the following equipment and that your system meets these requirements:
• A 10/100 Mbps Local Area Network device such as a hub or switch.
• The Category 5 UTP straight through Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector included in the package, or one like it.
• A 100-240 V, 50-60 HZ AC power source.
Basic Installation and Configuration 2-1 v1.0, May 2006
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
• A Web browser for configuration such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or above, or
Netscape Navigator 4.78 or above.
• At least one computer with the TCP/IP protocol installed.
• 802.11g or 802.11b-compliant devices, such as the NETGEAR WG511 Wireless Adapter.
The WG302v2 can connect to you LAN via twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors. The LAN interface is autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The wireless access point uses Auto Uplink™ technology. The Ethernet port automatically senses 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 correctly. This feature eliminates any concerns about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink™ will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines
The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the location of the wireless access point. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the WG302v2. For complete performance
specifications, see “Specifications for the WG302v2” in Appendix B .
For best results, place your wireless access point:
• Near the center of the area in which your PCs 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.
Putting the antenna in a vertical position provides best side-to-side coverage. Putting the antenna in a horizontal position provides best up-and-down coverage.
If you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio frequency
Channels to reduce interference. The recommended Channel spacing between adjacent access points is five Channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).

Basic Installation and Configuration
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
The Basic Settings default settings below work for most users and situations:
• Access Point Name. This unique name is the access point NetBIOS name. The default Access
Point Name is on the bottom label of the WG302v2. The default name is netgearxxxxxx, where xxxxxx represents the last six hexadecimal digits of the WG302v2 MAC address. You can change the name to a unique name up to 15 characters long.
• Country/Region. This is the region where the WG302v2 can be used. It may not be legal to operate the wireless features of the wireless access point in a region other than one of those identified in this field. For products sold in the United States, the default country domain is preset. For products sold outside of the United States, you must select a country or region.
• DHCP Client: By default, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client is disabled. If you have a DHCP server on your LAN and you enable DHCP, the wireless access point get its IP address, subnet mask and default gateway settings automatically from the
DHCP server on your network when you connect the WG302v2 to your LAN.
Note: To connect to the WG302v2 after the DHCP server on your network assigns it a new IP address, enter the access point name into the address field of your Web browser. The default 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 WG302v2.
• IP Address. The default IP address is 192.168.0.228. To change it, enter an unused IP address from the address range used on your LAN (factory default: 192.168.0.228); or enable DHCP.
• IP Subnet Mask. Enter the subnet mask value used on your LAN (factory default:
255.255.255.0).

• Spanning Tree Protocol. Enable or disable spanning tree protocol (factory default: enabled).
Spanning tree protocol provides network traffic optimization in settings with multiple ProSafe
802.11g devices.
• Untagged VLAN. You can use 802.1Q VLANs on the WG302v2 to logically separate traffic that is on the same physical network. VLAN tagging is always enabled so that the WG302v2 can process VLAN membership information.
Basic Installation and Configuration 2-9 v1.0, May 2006
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
By default all traffic on the WG302v2 uses VLAN 1, which is the default untagged VLAN.
Therefore, all traffic is untagged until you change the untagged traffic VLAN ID or the VLAN
ID for a specific Security Profile. Check the Untagged VLAN check box to transmit all frames on the specified VLAN as untagged. If you clear the box, all traffic is tagged with a VLAN ID.
• Time Zone. Select the Time Zone to match your location. If your location uses daylight saving, check the box Adjust for Daylight Saving Time.
• The Current Time, as used on the wireless access point, is displayed.
Note: You must have an Internet connection to get the current time.

2-10 v1.0, May 2006
Basic Installation and Configuration
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
The Wireless Settings page options are discussed below:
• 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). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name.
Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. In a setting where there is more than one wireless network, different wireless network names provide a means for separating the traffic.
Any device you want to participate in a particular wireless network will need to use the SSID.
The WG302v2 default SSID is NETGEAR. The following list contains additional information about SSIDs:
– A group of Wireless Stations and a single access point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a Basic Service Set (BSS).
– Using the same SSID is essential. Devices with different SSIDs are unable to communicate with each other. However, some access points allow connections from wireless stations which have their SSID set to “any” or whose SSID is blank (null).
– A group of wireless stations and multiple access points, all using the same ID (ESSID), form an Extended Service Set (ESS).
– Different access points within an ESS can use different channels. To reduce interference, it is recommended that adjacent access points should use different channels.
– As wireless stations physically move through the area covered by an ESS, they will automatically change to the access point which has the least interference or best performance. This capability is called roaming.
• Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID). The default is Yes. If you choose No, then only stations that know the SSID can connect. Disabling the SSID broadcast might interfere with the wireless network “discovery” feature of some products.
• Wireless Mode. Select one of the following wireless operating modes:
– Auto: Both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations can be used.
– 802.11b Only: 802.11b wireless stations can be used.
• Channel/Frequency. This field sets the operating frequency to use. You should not need to change the channel unless you notice interference problems, or if you are setting up the
WG302v2 near another access point. The wireless channel range is 1 to 11 for USA and
Canada and 1 to 13 for Europe and Australia. The default is channel 11.
– Access points use a fixed channel. You can select the channel to provide the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channels are available.
Basic Installation and Configuration 2-11 v1.0, May 2006
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
– If you use 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 five channels (for example, use channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
– 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 happen when the access points use the same SSID.
To learn more about wireless channels, see
Appendix A, “Related Documents for information
about online resources.
• Data Rate. Shows the available transmit data rate of the wireless network. The default is Best.
• Output Power. Set the transmit signal strength of the access point (AP). The options are Full,
Half, Quarter, Eighth, and Min. Decrease the transmit power if two or more APs are close together and use the same channel frequency. The default is Full.
Understanding WG302v2 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
ProSafe 802.11g provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
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 WG302v2. MAC address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed.
• 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, but the data is still fully exposed to a determined person using specialized test equipment like wireless sniffers.
• Use WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP
Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined eavesdropper.
• Use IEEE 802.1x. IEEE 802.1x
is the standard for passing the Extensible Authentication
Protocol ( EAP ) over an 802.11 wireless network using a protocol called EAP Encapsulation
Over LANs (EAPOL). This is a newer, more secure standard than Static WEP.
2-12 Basic Installation and Configuration v1.0, May 2006
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
• Use WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, or WPA2-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) 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 newer standard than the other security options, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited.
Configuring Security Profiles
You can configure up to eight unique security settings on the WG302v2. Figure 2-7
shows the
Security Profile Settings page.Use the following steps to configure a Security Profile.
1. Connect to the WG302v2.
In the address field of your Web browser, enter the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.228
.
Log in with the user name of admin and default password of password, or log in by using the LAN address and password that you configured.
2. In the Security menu, click Security Profile Settings.
Note: If you are using a RADIUS Server, configure the RADIUS settings first, as
described in “Configuring the RADIUS Server Settings” on page 2-20 .
The Security Profile Settings page appears and displays the current settings for the eight
Security Profiles.

After the configuration changes are applied, the main Security Profile page displays.
6. If the Security Profile you configured is not already enabled, click the Enable check box associated with the Security Profile, and then click Apply.
By default, only the first Security Profile (default name: NETGEAR) is enabled. To disable this Security Profile, you must disable the radio on the Wireless Settings page.
Profile Definition
The following settings are in the Profile Definition section on the Security Profile Configuration screen:
• Security Profile Name. Use a name that makes it easy to recognize the profile, and to tell profiles apart.
• Wireless Network Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. The
SSID separates network traffic from different wireless networks. For more information about
the SSID, see Wireless Network Name (SSID) on page 2-11
.
• Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID). This field lets you turn off the SSID broadcast.
If you do so, then only stations that know the SSID can connect. Disabling the SSID broadcast might interfere with the wireless network “discovery” feature of some products. The default is to enable SSID broadcast.
Network Authentication
The ProSafe 802.11g is set by default as an open system with no authentication. When setting up
Network Authentication, note the following information:
• If you are using Access Point mode, then all options are available. In other modes such as
Repeater or Bridge, some options might be unavailable.
• Not all wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with
Service Pack 3 do include the client software that supports WPA. However, client software is required on the client. Consult the product documentation for your wireless adapter and WPA or WPA2 client software for instructions about configuring WPA2 settings.
You can configure the WG302v2 to use the types of network authentication shown in the table

Description
This is the standard encryption method for WPA2. Some clients may support AES with WPA, but this is not supported by this Access Point.
This setting supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use
TKIP. For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients use AES.
The Passphrases and Keys are explained below:
• Passphrase. To use the Passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a passphrase and click the
Generate Keys button. You can also enter the keys directly. These keys must match the other wireless stations.
• Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4. If using WEP, select the key to be used as the default key. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be used to decrypt received data.
• WPA Pre-Shared Key. If using WPA-PSK, enter the passphrase here. All wireless stations must use the same passphrase (network key). The network key must be from 8 to 63 characters in length.
Note: Security Profiles that share the same type of network authentication must share the same passphrase or keys. Security Profiles that use WEP must share the same four keys, but they do not need to use the same default key.
Wireless Client Security Separation
If enabled, the associated wireless clients will not be able to communicate with each other. This feature is used for hotspots and other public access situations. The default is disabled.
VLAN ID
Enter a VLAN ID from 1-4094 to assign traffic from wireless clients to a VLAN. When a wireless client uses this Security Profile, the traffic is tagged with the VLAN ID you specify. To assign multiple Security Profiles to the same VLAN, enter the same VLAN ID for each profile. The default VLAN ID is 1. If you enter a VLAN ID that is not the default, make sure the VLAN ID matches the VLAN ID that switches and other network devices use on the LAN.

Remote MAC Address of AP 1.
• Configure the WG302v2 (AP 3) on LAN 3 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the
Remote MAC Address of AP 1.
2. Verify the following for all access points:
• The LAN network configuration of the ProSafe 802.11g s are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the LAN devices
• Only one AP is configured in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode, and all the others are in
Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
• All APs must be on the same LAN. That is, all the AP LAN IP addresses must be in the same network.
• If using DHCP, all ProSafe 802.11g s should be set to “Obtain an IP address automatically
(DHCP Client)” in the IP Address Source portion of the Basic IP Settings menu.
• All ProSafe 802.11g s must use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and encryption in use.
• All Point-to-Point APs must have the MAC address of AP 1 in the Remote AP MAC address field.
3. Verify connectivity across the LANs.
• A computer on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other PCs or servers connected to any of the three LAN segments.
•
Wireless stations will not be able to connect to the ProSafe 802.11g s in Figure 4-6
. If you require wireless stations to access any LAN segment, you can use additional ProSafe
802.11g s configured in Wireless Access Point mode to any LAN segment.
Note: You can extend this multi-point bridging by adding additional WG302v2s configured in Point-to-Point mode for each additional LAN segment. Furthermore, you can extend the range of the wireless network with NETGEAR wireless antenna accessories.
Repeater with Wireless Client Association
In this mode, the ProSafe 802.11g sends all traffic to the remote AP. For repeater mode, you must enter the MAC address of the remote “parent” access point. You can also enter the address of the
“child” access point. Note that the following restrictions apply:

NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
• All ProSafe 802.11g devices use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and encryption in use.
3. Verify connectivity across the LANs.
A computer on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other PCs or servers connected to any of the three WLAN segments.
Note: You can extend this repeating by adding up to two more WG302v2s configured in repeater mode. However, since repeaters communicate in half-duplex mode, the bandwidth decreases as you add repeaters to the network. Also, you can extend the range of the wireless network with NETGEAR wireless antenna accessories.

Troubleshooting 5-1 v1.0, May 2006
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
The Wireless LAN activity light does not light up.
The access point’s antennae are not working.
• If the Wireless LAN activity light stays off, disconnect the adapter from its power source and then plug it in again.
• Make sure the antennas are tightly connected to the WG302v2.
• Contact NETGEAR technical support if the Wireless LAN activity light remains off.
The LAN light is not lit.
There is a hardware connection problem. Check these items:
• Make sure the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the access point and the network device (hub, switch, or router). A switch, hub, or router must be installed between the access point and the Ethernet LAN or broadband modem.
• Make sure the connected device is turned on.
• Be sure the correct cable is used. Use a standard Category 5 Ethernet patch cable. If the network device has Auto Uplink™ (MDI/MDIX) ports, you can use either a crossover cable or a normal patch cable.
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 may not have the correct TCP/IP settings to communicate with the network. Restart the computer and check that TCP/IP is set up properly for that network. The usual setting for Windows the Network Properties is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically.”
• The access point’s default values may not work with your network. Check the access point default configuration against the configuration of other devices in your network.
5-2 Troubleshooting v1.0, May 2006
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
I cannot connect to the WG302v2 to configure it.
Check these items:
• The WG302v2 is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered on. Check that the LAN port LED is on (amber indicating a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection or green indicating a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection) to verify that the Ethernet connection is OK.
• The default configuration of the WG302v2 is for a static IP address of 192.168.0.228 and a
Mask of 255.255.255.0 with DHCP disabled. Make sure your network configuration settings are correct.
• If you are using the NetBIOS name of the WG302v2 to connect, ensure that your computer and the WG302v2 are on the same network segment or that there is a WINS server on your network.
• If your computer is set to “Obtain an IP Address automatically” (DHCP client), restart it.
• If your computer uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP Address in the range of the WG302v2. The WG302v2 default IP Address is 192.168.0.228 and the default
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
When I enter a URL or IP address I get a timeout error.
A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting steps.
• Check whether other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs TCP/IP settings are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS, and IP
Addresses.
• If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, ensure that the WG302v2 is connected and turned on. Connect to it and check its settings. If you cannot connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.
• If the WG302v2 is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc.) to make sure that it is working correctly.
• Try again.
Troubleshooting 5-3 v1.0, May 2006
NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302v2 Reference Manual
I am unable to download files from some FTP sites.
If the IP address of the WG302v2 LAN interface is not on the same network as the IP addresses the DHCP server on the WG302v2 assigns to wireless clients, the WG302v2 performs automatic network address and port translation (NAPT). Some higher-layer protocols, such as FTP, might not work with the NAPT on the WG302v2.
To fix this issue, reconfigure the DHCP server settings (Advanced IP Settings) so that the wireless clients receive IP addresses that are on the same network as the WG302v2 Ethernet interface.
I need to restore factory default settings.
To restore the factory default settings, you can use the Reset button (see
“Erasing the Configuration” on page 3-6 ). To view a list of the factory default settings, see
“Default Factory Settings” on page B-1
