ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP210 Reference Manual
2-12 Installation and Configuration
v1.0, February 2009
Logging in to the Access Point
The WNAP210 is set, by default with the IP address of 192.168.0.236 with DHCP disabled.
Note: If logging in using the default IP address, the computer you are using to connect to
the WNAP210 should be configured with an IP address that starts with 192.168.0.x
and a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
If DHCP is enabled, there are two methods you ca
n use to connect to the WNAP210 after the
DHCP server on your network assigns it a new IP address.
• If your wireless access point is to be deployed on a
local network, you can enter the NetBIOS
1
name into your Web browser. The default wireless access point name is netgea
rxxxxxx, where
xxxxxx represents the last 6 bytes of the MAC address. The MAC address is printed on the
rear label of the WNAP210. (Using the NetBIOS naming convention to access your router
across several network segments is known to be unreliable.)
• Reserve an IP address (based on the WNAP210’s MAC address) on the DHCP server. That
way
, if your router is deployed across several segments, you can configure the wireless access
point with a static IP address which you can always use to log in to make future configuration
changes.
To log in using the default IP Address:
1. Open a
Web browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
2. Connect to the WNAP210 by entering the
default address of http://192.168.0.236 into your
browser.
http://192.168.0.233
http://192.168.0.236
