Viewing a List of Attached Devices
The Available Wireless Station List contains a table of all IP devices associated with the wireless
access point in the wireless network defined by the Wireless Network Name (SSID).
1.
From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Information heading, click the
Available Wireless Station List link to view the list, shown below.
For each device, the table shows the Station ID, MAC address, IP Address, and Status
(whether the device is allowed to communicate with the wireless access point or not).
If the wireless access point is rebooted, the table data is lost until the wireless access point
rediscovers the devices.
2.
To force the wireless access point to look for associated devices, click the Refresh button.

Note:
A wireless network can include multiple wireless access points, all using the same
network name (SSID). This enables extending the reach of the wireless network
and allows users to roam from one access point to another, providing seamless
network connectivity. Under these circumstances, be aware that only the stations
associated with this access point will be presented in the Available Station List.

Upgrading the Wireless Access Point Software
.
You cannot perform the firmware upgrade from a workstation connected to the WAG102 via a
wireless link. The firmware upgrade must be performed via a workstation connected to the
WAG102 via the Ethernet LAN interface.
The software of the WAG102 Access Point is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as
new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from Netgear's Web
site. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the image (.RMT) file
before sending it to the wireless access point. The upgrade file can be sent using your browser.
1.
Download the new software file from NETGEAR, save it to your hard disk, and unzip it.
2.
From the main menu Management section, click the Upgrade Firmware link to display the
screen below.
3.
In the Upgrade Firmware menu, click the Browse button and browse to the location of the
image (.RMG) upgrade file.
4.
Click Upload.
Note:
When uploading software to the WAG102 Access Point, it is important not to
interrupt the Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new
page. If the browser is interrupted, the upload may fail, corrupt the software, and
render the WAG102 completely inoperable.
Note:
The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the WAG102 must support
HTTP uploads, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or above, or Netscape
Navigator 4.78 or above.

When the upload completes, your wireless access point will automatically restart. The upgrade
process typically takes about one minute.
In some cases, you may need to reconfigure the wireless access point after upgrading.
Configuration File Management
The WAG102 Access Point settings are stored in the wireless access point in a configuration file.
This file can be saved (backed up) to a user’s computer, retrieved (restored) from the user’s
computer, or cleared to factory default settings.
From the main menu Management heading, click the Backup/Restore Settings link to bring up the
menu shown below.
The three options displayed are described in the following sections:
Saving and Retrieving the Configuration
The Backup/Restore Settings menu allows you to save or retrieve a file containing your wireless
access point’s configuration settings.
To save your settings, click the Backup button. Your browser will extract the configuration file
from the wireless access point and prompts you for a location on your computer to store the file.
You can give the file a meaningful name at this time, such as
WAG102.cfg
.
To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your
computer or click the Browse button to locate the file. When you have located it, click the Restore
button to upload the file. After completing the upload, the WAG102 will reboot automatically.

Restoring the WAG102 to the Factory Default Settings
It is sometimes desirable to restore the wireless access point to the factory default settings. This
can be done by using the Erase button, which restores all factory settings. After a restore, the
wireless access point's password will be
password
, the WAG102's DHCP client is disabled, the
default LAN IP address is 192.168.0.232, and the access point name is reset to the name printed on
the label on the bottom of the unit.
Using the Reset Button to Restore Factory Default Settings
To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP
address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the wireless access point (see
Figure 2-2 on page 2-7
). The reset button has two functions:
•
Reboot.
When pressed and released, the Wireless Access Point will reboot (restart).
•
Reset to Factory Defaults.
This button can also be used to clear all data and restore all
settings to the factory default values.
To clear all data and restore the factory default values:
1.
Power off the WAG102 and power it back on.
2.
Use something with a small point, such as a pen, to press the Reset button in and hold it in for
at least 5 seconds.
3.
Continue holding the Reset Button until the LEDs blink twice.
4.
Release the Reset Button.
The factory default configuration has now been restored and the WAG102 is ready for use.
