Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems you may have.
Once the wireless USB print server is connected, always restart your network in
this sequence:
1.
Turn off
and
unplug the modem, turn off your router, shut off the wireless USB print server,
turn off the printer, and shut down the computer.
2.
Plug in and turn on the modem. Wait about 2 minutes.
3.
Turn on your router. Wait about 1 minute.
4.
Turn on the wireless USB print server and printer.
5.
Turn on the computer.
Make sure the cables are plugged in.
For each powered on computer connected to the wireless USB print server with an Ethernet cable,
the corresponding LAN status light will be lit. The label on the bottom of the wireless USB print
server identifies the number of each LAN port.
Verify the wireless settings.
The Wireless Network Name (SSID) and security settings of the router and wireless USB print
server must match exactly. For example, entering nETgear for the SSID is not the same as entering
NETGEAR.
Make sure the network settings of the computer are correct.
Both Ethernet cable and wirelessly connected computers
must
be configured to obtain IP
and
DNS
addresses automatically via DHCP.
Check the router status lights to verify correct router operation.
The Power light should turn solid green. If after 2 minutes it is not, reset the wireless USB print
server as described in the
Setup Manual
on the CD.
If after completing the setup, the Wireless light does not come on, log in to the wireless USB print
server and verify that the wireless feature is turned on.
I don’t have a working CD drive.
Follow the setup instructions in the manual on the CD.

Two Ways to Log In to the WGPS606
The NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless USB Print Server with 4-Port Switch WGPS606 can be
configured from Microsoft Internet Explorer browser version 5.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator
Web browser version 4.78 or above. You can log in to the WGPS606 in these two ways:
•
Using the Smart Wizard on the WGPS606 CD is the easiest.
•
Using the IP address of the WGPS606.
The procedure for using the IP address to log in to the WGPS606 is presented here.
How to Log in Using the IP Address of the WGPS606
1.
The Smart Wizard on the WGPS606 CD guides you through the process of assigning an IP
address based on the addressing scheme used in your network. If you used the Setup Wizard to
perform the initial configuration, you will need to use the IP address assigned at that time.
Otherwise, 192.168.0.102 is the default IP address of your wireless USB print server. So, if the
WGPS606 has not yet been installed, and there is no DHCP server on the network, you can log
in to the WGPS606 using its default IP address.
Note:
The computer you are using to connect to the WGPS606 should be configured with a
static IP address that starts with 192.168.0.x and a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
2.
Open a Web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
3.
Connect to the WGPS606 by entering its IP address into your browser.

A login window like the one shown below opens:

Using the IP Settings Options
The IP Settings page is under the Setup heading of the main menu. Use this page to configure
static IP addresses.

IP Settings Current IP Addresses
The wireless USB print server is shipped preconfigured to act as a DHCP client.
If the wireless USB print server does not find a DHCP server in your network, it defaults to
this IP configuration: IP Address of 192.168.0.102 and IP Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those
changes in this page.
•
IP Settings Suggested Values
The wireless USB print server is set to act as a DHCP client. DHCP addresses change
dynamically based on which device connects to your network first. Your wireless USB print
server needs to use the same IP address all the time. This assures that each computer can
communicate with the printers attached to the wireless USB print server.
Use the Suggested Values button to let the wireless USB print server assign an IP address in
the range that your network uses. The wireless USB print server will pick a high number that is
unlikely to be assigned in a home network because home networks usually have fewer than
100 devices on the network in the home.
