Placement and Range Guidelines  
Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11 wireless networks at a maximum range of 500 feet  
(152.4 m) for 802.11b devices. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless  
connection can vary significantly, based on the physical placement of the wireless access point.

Configuring Your WG602 54 Mbps  
Wireless Access Point  
The WG602 Wireless Access Point can be configured remotely from Microsoft Internet  
Explorer browser version 5.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator web browser version 4.78 or  
above on your computer.  
Once you have entered your access point name, your web browser should automatically  
find the WG602 Access Point and display the WG602 home page, as shown above.  
2
You may access the WG602 information page by specifying either the IP address or the  
WG602 Access Point name.  
For advanced users: To access the WG602 Web Server home page on the WG602 Access  
Point, we suggest that you have a DHCP server on the Ethernet Network. If there is no  
accessible DHCP server, the WG602 Access Point will default to the IP address of  
192.168.0.227 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You will need to configure the IP  
address of the computer to be within the same subnet for the initial configuration.  
1. Determine the name of your access point.  
To find the name of your access point, refer to the labels on the bottom of the access  
point. The access point name should be similar to this, netgear10d4b5.  
Please refer to Troubleshooting on page 22 if you cannot connect to the WG602 Web Server.  
2. Open your web browser. (For example, this may be Internet Explorer or Netscape  
Navigator.)  
4. Click Setup options to configure the WG602 Access Point and proceed to the next  
section, Login to the Access Point Setup.  
3. At the top of the window, in the Address or Location box, type the name of your access  
point and press enter. (You do not need to type the prefix wwwor http://.)

determine if it should use the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense  
Multiple Access with Collision Detection) mechanism or the  
CSMA/CA mechanism for packet transmission. With the  
CSMA/CD transmission mechanism, the transmitting station  
sends out the actual packet as soon as it has waited for the silence  
period. With the CSMA/CA transmission mechanism, the  
transmitting station sends out an RTS packet to the receiving  
station, and waits for the receiving station to send back a CTS  
(Clear to Send) packet before sending the actual packet data.  
Default: 2346  
4. Setup 802.11b/g WEP encryption security as needed.  
For 802.11b/g, all four keys must have the same encryption level 64-bit or 128-bit.  
RTS Threshold  
All devices in the network must have the same key values in for the selected encryption  
key. The encryption key selected as the default determines the encryption level at which  
the access point is transmitting.  
For 64-bits encryption:  
Hexadecimal: 10 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" (e.g.  
11AA22BB33).  
This is the maximum packet size used for fragmentation.  
Packets larger than the size programmed in this field will be  
fragmented. The Fragment Threshold value must be larger  
than the RTS Threshold value.  
For 128-bits encryption:  
Hexadecimal: 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" (e.g.  
00112233445566778899AABBCC).  
Fragmentation Length  
Default: 2346  
Passphrase:  
You can enter a Passphrase to avoid manually entering WEP keys. It is case-sensitive.

Protecting Your Wireless Network  
3
The absence of a physical connection between nodes makes wireless links vulnerable to  
information theft. This chapter describes how to use the basic security features of the WG602  
Wireless Access Point to protect your network.  
Security Configuration  
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the  
Security Settings screen of the Access Point Setup offers use of an authentication protocol as  
well as data encryption, known as WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).  
Although your network traffic may already be encrypted, the security steps described here are  
easy to perform.  
For a step-by-step treatment of security setup, see Enabling Basic Wireless Access Security Features  
on page 18.  
Enabling Basic Wireless Access Security Features  
There are several steps you can take to secure your wireless network:  
1. Use a browser to connect to the WG602.  
Change the factory default administrator password of the WG602.  
2. Click Security Settings on the Access Point Setup menu and log in.  
Place the WG602 in a location where it cannot be physically tampered with.

Change the factory default Wireless Network Name (SSID) setting of the WG602.  
Enable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption of the wireless data communications.  
Restrict wireless access based on the MAC address to specific wireless adapters of known users.  
Authentication: The authentication setting, Open System or Shared Key is  
unrelated to encryption of transmissions. Choose Shared Key for more security.  
Authentication Type (circle one): Open System or Shared Key  
Note: If you select Shared Key, the other devices in the network will not connect  
unless they are set to Shared Key as well.  
Note: In addition to the WG602 wireless security features, you should also configure  
appropriate LAN network security features, such as requiring a user name and password to  
access the shared resources in your network.  
Passphrase: By entering the text-based passphrase, it will automatically generate four  
WEP keys in Hex.  
Passphrase: _______________________________

Secure the Access Point  
In order to increase the security of the access point, we recommend that you change the  
WG602 default wireless network name (SSID) settings and enable the WEP settings.  
2. Use the procedures described in the following sections to configure the WG602.  
3. Store this information in a safe place.  
Before you change the wireless network name (SSID) and WEP settings, please perform the  
following steps:  
Change the Wireless Network Name (SSID)  
1. For a new wireless network, use the provided form on the next page to fill in your  
configuration parameters. For an existing wireless network, print or copy this form and fill  
in the configuration parameters. The person who set up or is responsible for the network  
will be able to provide this information.  
To change the wireless network name (SSID) settings, follow these steps:  
1. From the Windows desktop, follow the instructions provided in Configuring your WG602  
54 Mbps Wireless Access Point on page 7 to go to the Setup window.  
Wireless Network Name (SSID): The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the  
wireless local area network. NETGEAR is the default WG602 SSID. However, you  
may customize it by using up to 32 alphanumeric characters. NETGEAR  
recommends that you write your customized SSID on the line below.  
2. To change the SSID, enter a new SSID.  
Note: The characters are case sensitive. An access point always functions in infrastructure  
mode. The SSID for any wireless device communicating with the access point must match  
the SSID configured in the access point.  
Note: The SSID in the wireless access point is the SSID you configure in the wireless  
adapter card. For the access point and wireless nodes to communicate with each other,  
all must be configured with the same SSID. Note that the SSID is case sensitive.  
3. Click Apply or OK for the changes to take effect.
