5-2 Troubleshooting and Debugging
v1.0 March 2009
The Wireless LAN LED does not light up.
The access point antennas are not working.
• If the Wireless LAN LED stays off, disconnect the adapter from its power source, and then
plug it in again.
• Make sure that the antennas are securely connected to the WNAP210.
• Contact NETGEAR Technical Support if the Wireless LAN LED remains off.
The Ethernet LAN LED is not lit.
There is a hardware connection problem.Check these items:
• Make sure that 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.
• The LAN LED does not light if the link is 10 Mbps. In such cases, the LAN LED will still
blink if there is activity.
• Make sure that the connected device is turned on.
• Make sure that 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 might not have the correct TCP/IP settings to
communicate with the network. Restart the computer, and check that TCP/IP is set up
correctly for that network. In Windows, the usual setting for Network Properties is “Obtain an
IP address automatically (DHCP client).”
