The following drawing illustrates two wireless access points daisy-chained together in wireless
repeater mode
To configure a LAN segment utilizing the WN802T in Repeater Mode:
1.
Configure the Operating Mode of the RangeMax NEXTs.
•
Configure AP1 on LAN Segment 1 in Repeater mode with the Remote MAC Address of
the “downstream” remote AP (AP2).
•
Configure AP2 in Repeater mode with the MAC address of the “upstream” AP (AP1).
2.
Verify the following parameters for all access points:
•
That the RangeMax NEXTs are configured to operate in the same LAN network address
range as the LAN devices.
•
That all APs are on the same LAN. That is, all AP LAN IP addresses must be in the same
network.
•
If using DHCP, that all RangeMax NEXTs should be set to “Obtain an IP address
automatically (DHCP Client)” in the IP Address section of the
IP Settings
screen.
•
That all RangeMax NEXTs use the same SSID, Channel, authentication mode, if any, and
encryption in use.
3.
Verify connectivity across the LANs.
A computer on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and
printers with any other PCs or servers connected to any of the three WLAN segments.

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides information for troubleshooting issues with your RangeMax NEXT
Wireless-N Access Point. Following each problem description, instructions are provided to assist
you in diagnosing and solving the problem.
Following are some tips for correcting simple problems that could occur.
No lights are lit on the access point.
The access point has no power.
•
Make sure the power cord is connected to the access point and plugged in to a working power
outlet or power strip.
•
Make sure you are using the correct NETGEAR power adapter supplied with your access
point; in this case the Switching Power Supply.
The Ethernet light is not lit.
There is a hardware connection problem.
•
Make sure the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the wireless access point and the
network device (hub, switch, or router).
•
Make sure the connected device is turned on.
The WLAN light is not lit.
The wireless access point build-it antennas are not functioning properly.
•
Check the “Turn Radio On” radio button setting on the
Wireless Settings
screen under the
Setup
menu. It must be turned on (checked).

Troubleshooting
v1.0, August 2007
•
If the Wireless LAN activity light stays off, disconnect the adapter from its power source and
then plug it in again.
•
Contact NETGEAR if the WLAN light remains off.
I cannot configure the access point from a browser.
Check these items:
•
The WN802T is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered on. Check that
the LAN port LED is blinking green to verify that the Ethernet connection is OK.
•
If you are using the NetBIOS name of the WN802T to connect (DHCP Client is enabled),
ensure that your PC and the WN802T are on the same network segment or that there is a
WINS server on your network. Using the default NetBIOS name:
netgearxxxxxx,
where
xxxxxx
is the last 6 digits of the wireless access point MAC address; or, if you have modified
the name, make sure you have input it correctly. (The name may be up to 15 characters long.)
•
If DHCP is not enabled, make sure you are using the correct LAN IP Address to access the
wireless access point, and that you are on the same network segment.
•
If DHCP is enabled, and you cannot connect using the default NetBIOS name, configure your
DHCP server (either built into the router or a separate server) with a reserve IP (based on the
wireless access point’s MAC address). You can then use it to create a fixed IP for the wireless
access point.
•
If you have not yet deployed the wireless access point, and it is connected to your PC via an
Ethernet cable, make sure the connection is secure, and that you have configured your PC with
a static IP in the same subnet as the LAN IP of wireless access point. The default static IP
address to use for your PC is 192.168.0.210; the default wireless access point LAN IP is
192.168.0.233; and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
I cannot access the Internet or the LAN with a wireless
capable computer.
There is a configuration problem. Check these items:
•
You may not have restarted the computer with the wireless adapter to have TCP/IP changes
take effect. Restart the computer.

•
The computer with the wireless adapter may not have the correct TCP/IP settings to
communicate with the network. Restart the computer and check that TCP/IP is set up properly
for that network. The usual setting for Windows on the Network Properties is set to “Obtain an
IP address automatically.”
•
The wireless access point’s default values may not work with your network. Check the
wireless access point’s default configuration against the configuration of other devices in your
network.
•
For full instructions on changing the wireless access point’s default values, see
Chapter 2,
“Installation and Configuration”
and
Chapter 3, “Wireless Security Settings”
.
When I enter a URL or IP address I get a timeout error.
A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting steps.
•
Check whether other computers work. If they do, ensure that your computer’s IP Address,
Subnet Mask and Default Gateway settings are correct. If using a DNS Server, check the
Primary and Secondary DNS Server Addresses.
•
If the computers are configured correctly, but still not working, ensure that the WN802T is
connected and turned on. Connect to it and check its settings. If you cannot connect to it, check
the LAN and power connections.
•
If the WN802T is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem,
etc.) to make sure that it is working.
•
Try again.
•
When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the
Apply
button before moving to
another menu or tab, or your changes are lost.
•
Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes may have occurred, but
the Web browser may be caching the old configuration.
Using the Reset Button to Restore Factory Default Settings
The reset button on the rear panel of the WN802T has two functions:
•
Reboot:
When pressed and released quickly, the WN802T will reboot (restart).
