How to Set Up and Test Basic Wireless Connectivity
Follow the instructions below to set up and test basic wireless connectivity. Once you have
established basic wireless connectivity, you can enable security settings appropriate to your needs.
1. Log in to the WPN802 at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.231 with its default user
name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and
password you have set up.
2. Click Wireless Settings in the main menu of the WPN802.

3. Choose a suitable descriptive name for the wireless network name (SSID). In the SSID box,
enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is NETGEAR.
Note: The SSID is case sensitive; NETGEAR is not the same as nETgear. Also, the SSID of
any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the NETGEAR
RangeMax™ Wireless Access Point WPN802. If they do not match, you will not get a
wireless connection to the WPN802.
4. Set the Region. Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate.
Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure WPA settings, you will be
disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless adapter to match the
new settings or access the wireless access point from a wired computer to make any
further changes.
