Installation and Configuration

Now that you have completed the setup steps, you can deploy the WN802T v2 in your network. If 
needed, you can now reconfigure the computer you used in step 1 in 

 back to its original TCP/IP settings.

To deploy the NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point:

1. Disconnect the WN802T v2 and position it where it will be deployed. The best location is 

elevated, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle, at the center of your wireless 
coverage area, and within line of sight of all the mobile devices.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your NETGEAR Wireless-N Access Point to a LAN port on 

your router, switch, or hub. Connect the power adapter to the wireless access point and plug 
the power adapter into a power outlet. The PWR, LAN, and Wireless LAN LEDs and should 
light up

Program the wireless adapter of your PCs to have the same SSID and channel that you configured 
for the WN802T v2 (see 

). Check that they have a wireless 

link and are able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the WN802T v2, when DHCP is enabled. 

Once your PCs have basic wireless connectivity to the WN802T v2, you can deploy the WN802T 
v2 and configure the advanced wireless security functions (see 

Tip: Before mounting the WN802T v2 in a high location, first set up and test the 

WN802T v2 to verify wireless network connectivity.

Note: If you are configuring the WN802T v2 from a wireless computer and you change 

the SSID, channel, or security profile settings, you will lose your wireless 
connection when you click Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of 
your computer to match the new settings.
