Tip: Before mounting the WNAP210 Wireless-N Access Point in a high location, first set 
up and test the WNAP210 to verify wireless network connectivity.

The WNAP210 contains the following:

•

Wireless Access Point

•

Ethernet Cable

•

Power Adapter

•

Vertical stand feet (2)

•

Wall Mounting Kit (2 brackets, 2 anchors, 2 screws)

a.

Unpack the box and verify the contents.

b.

Prepare a computer with Internet access and an Ethernet adapter. If this computer 
is already part of your network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings. 
Configure the computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 
255.255.255.0 as the Subnet Mask.

c.

Connect an Ethernet cable from the 
WNAP210 to the PC.

d.

Securely insert the other end of the cable 
into the WNAP210 Ethernet port.

e.

Connect the NETGEAR Switching 
Power Supply from the wireless-N 
access point to an AC power outlet. 

Note: Only connect your wireless-N 
access point using the switching power 
supply provided with the WNAP210.
Check the lights on the front of the wireless-N access point:

•

Power: The green power light should be lit. If the power light is not 

lit, check the connections and check to see if the power outlet is controlled 
by a wall switch that is turned off.

•

 Test: The Test light is on briefly when the WNAP210 is first turned 

on.

•

Ethernet: The Ethernet (LAN) light should be lit (amber for 10/100 

Mbps and green for 1000 Mbps) indicating that a connection has been made. 
If not, make sure the Ethernet cable is securely attached at both ends.

•

 WLAN: The blue wireless light may blink indicating wireless 

activity.

a.

Configure the WNAP210 Ethernet port for LAN access.Connect to the 
WNAP210 by opening your browser and entering http://192.168.0.236 in the 
address field. 

A login window will display.

b.

When prompted, enter 

 for the 

user name and 

 for the 

password, both in lower case letters.

The NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless-N 
Access Point WNAP210 user inter-
face will display.

c.

Select Wireless Settings under the 
Setup menu on the left navigation 
pane and configure your wireless 
interface for wireless access.

d.

Then select WEP/WPA Settings under Security and configure the level of data 
encryption security for your network.

See the online help or the online Reference Manual for full instructions.

e.

Finally, select Basic Settings under the Setup menu on the left navigation pane 
and configure the IP Settings for your network.

Note: If you change the default subnet of the LAN IP address, you will be 
disconnected from the WNAP210 Wireless-N Access Point user interface. To 
reconnect, reconfigure your computer with a static IP address within the new 
LAN IP subnet.

Tip: Before you deploy your wireless-N access point, reserve an IP address 
(based on the WNAP210’s MAC address) on the DHCP server. That way, you 
can configure the wireless-N access point with a static IP address which you can 
always use to log in to make future configuration changes.

Now that you have finished the setup steps, you are ready to deploy the WNAP210 in your 
network. If needed, you can now reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back to its original 
TCP/IP settings.
