USB print server in a region other than one of those identified in this field.
Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy the WGPS606 in your
network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back to its original
TCP/IP settings.

elevated at the center of your wireless coverage area.
b. Lift the antenna side so that it is vertical.
c. Connect an Ethernet cable from your Wireless USB Print Server to a LAN port on your
router, switch, or hub.
Note: By default, WGPS606 is set to be a DHCP client. If your network uses static IP
addresses, you will need to change this setting.
d. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug the power adapter in to a
power outlet. The power, LAN, and wireless lights and should light up.

settings needed to connect to the WGPS606 (SSID, MAC ACL, WEP, WPA, etc.), verify
connectivity by using a browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer to browse the Internet,
or check for file and printer access on your network. If you cannot connect, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 6-1.
Two Ways to Log In to the WGPS606
The NETGEAR WGPS606 54 Mbps Wireless USB Print Server with 4-Port Switch WGPS606
can be configured remotely from Microsoft Internet Explorer browser version 5.0 or above, or
Netscape Navigator Web browser version 4.78 or above. You can log in to the WGPS606 in these
two ways:
• Using the Default IP Address of the WGPS606 is the most reliable.
• Using the NetBIOS name of the WGPS606 is not as reliable as using the IP Address.
The procedures for these two ways of logging in to the WGPS606 are presented here.
