ProSafe Wireless-N Access Point WNAP210 Reference Manual
6-2 Troubleshooting
v1.0, February 2009
• If the Wireless LAN activity light stays off, disconnect the adapter from its power source and
then plug it in again.
• Contact NETGEAR if the WLAN light remains off.
I cannot configure the access point from a browser.
Check these items:
• The WNAP210 is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered on. Check
that the LAN port LED is blinking green to verify that the Ethernet connection is OK.
• If you are using the NetBIOS name of the WNAP210 to connect (DHCP Client is enabled),
ensure that your PC and the WNAP210 are on the same network segment or that there is a
WINS server on your network. Using the default NetBIOS name: netgearxxxxxx, where
xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the wireless access point MAC address; or, if you have modified
the name, make sure you have input it correctly. (The name may be up to 15 characters long.)
• If DHCP is not enabled, make sure you are using the correct LAN IP Address to access the
wireless access point, and that you are on the same network segment.
• If DHCP is enabled, and you cannot connect using the default NetBIOS name, configure your
DHCP server (either built into the router or a separate server) with a reserve IP (based on the
wireless access point’s MAC address). You can then use it to create a fixed IP for the wireless
access point.
• If you have not yet deployed the wireless access point, and it is connected to your PC via an
Ethernet cable, make sure the connection is secure, and that you have configured your PC with
a static IP in the same subnet as the LAN IP of wireless access point. The default static IP
address to use for your PC is 192.168.0.210; the default wireless access point LAN IP is
192.168.0.236; and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
I cannot access the Internet or the LAN with a wireless
capable computer.
There is a configuration problem. Check these items:
• You may not have restarted the computer with the wireless adapter to have TCP/IP changes
take effect. Restart the computer.
