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

Disconnect the access point from the computer and place it where you will 

deploy it. The best location is elevated, such as a wall, ceiling, or the top of a 

cubicle. The access point should be placed near the center of your wireless 

coverage area and within line of sight of all the mobile devices.

Connect an Ethernet cable from your access point to a LAN port on your 

router, switch, or hub.

Connect the power adapter to the access point and plug the power adapter into 

an AC power outlet. The Power, WLAN, and LAN LEDs should light up.

Before installing in a remote location, use a computer with an 802.11g, 802.11b, or 
802.11n wireless adapter and verify connectivity. Use a browser such as 
Netscape®, Internet Explorer, or Mozilla Firefox® to connect to the Internet, and 
check for file and printer access on your network.

If you cannot connect, see the Troubleshooting Tips in this guide or the link 

to the reference manual on the Resource CD.

Here are some tips for correcting simple problems you might have.

The access point has no power.

Make sure that the power supply is connected to the access point and plugged 

in to a working power outlet or power strip.

Make sure that you are using the NETGEAR power supply provided with your 

access point.

There is a hardware connection problem.

Make sure that the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the access point 

and the network device (hub, switch, or router).

Make sure that the connected device is turned on.

The access point’s antennas are not working.

If the WLAN activity LED stays off, disconnect the adapter from its power source 

and then plug it in again.

Contact NETGEAR if the WLAN LED remains off.

Check these items:

The access point is properly installed and it is powered on. Check that the LAN 

port LED is green to verify that the LAN connection is OK.

If your PC uses a fixed (static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP address 

in the range of the WN604. The WN604 default IP address is 192.168.0.100 

and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The access point default setting 

is for a static IP address. If the network where you are connecting it is using 

DHCP, configure it accordingly. See the reference manual on the Resource CD 

for more details. 

The factory default reset button and the default settings for your access 

point are located on the label at the rear of your access point.

Confirm that the network is connected to the Internet. The problem could be with the 
router and not with the access point.

There is a configuration problem. Check these items:

You might not have restarted the computer with the access point 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. The usual setting for Windows in the 

Network Properties is “Obtain an IP address automatically.”

The access point’s default values might not work with your network. Check the 

access point default configuration against the configuration of other devices in 

your network.

For full instructions on changing the access point’s default values, click the 

documentation links on the Resource CD or on the menu of the WN604 access 

point user interface.
