Changing the Bridge’s IP Address

If your wireless network has an IP address other than 192.168.0.yyy, you need to change the IP

address on the bridge or set it to be configured automatically by the router.

Note: All NETGEAR products use 192.168.0.yyy. If you have NETGEAR wireless products

working in your wireless network without configuration changes, you won’t need to change the

bridge’s IP address unless you have more than one WGE101 bridge on the network.

1. Choose Programs>NETGEAR WGE101 Bridge>Smart Navigator from the Start menu.

2. Select the bridge in the device list.

3. Click Advanced Settings.

4. If the warning appears about the IP address not matching

that of the network, click Yes.

Note: If you’re asked for the User name and Password at this point, that means that the

bridge’s IP address matches that of the network. Type admin as the User name and the

current password. (password is the default.) Click OK. See the WGE101 Reference Manual

for details on using the browser-based software for changing the IP address.

5. Click Suggested Settings.

The Smart Navigator suggests an IP address

and subnet mask that match that of your

wireless network.

6. If you don’t like the suggested address,

change the numbers as needed. The first

three sets of numbers (xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy)

should be the same as your access point or

router. The last set of numbers (.yyy) should

be a set of unique numbers on your network.

If your network has a router with a router

table, select Obtain IP Address

automatically.

(By doing this, the bridge’s IP address is

assigned dynamically by the router and you’ll use the router table to find out what the

bridge’s current IP address is.)

7. Click OK.

8. To apply the change, type admin as the User name and the current password.

(password is the default.)

9. Click OK.
