Chapter 2

Installation and Configuration

This chapter describes how to set up your NETGEAR WG602v4 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point

for wireless connectivity to your LAN. The basic configuration will enable computers with

802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapters to connect to the Internet, and to access printers and files on

your LAN.

You need to prepare these three things before you can establish a connection through your wireless

access point:

• A location for the WG602v4 that conforms to the guidelines below.

• A device such as a hub, switch, router, or Cable/DSL gateway.

• One or more computers with properly configured 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapters.

Placement and Range Guidelines

Indoors, computers can connect over wireless networks at ranges of several hundred feet or more.

This distance can allow for others outside your area to access your network. It is important to take

appropriate steps to secure your network from unauthorized access. The Wireless AP provides

highly effective security features which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security

features appropriate to your needs

The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the

physical placement of the wireless access point. The latency, data throughput performance, and

notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration

choices.

For best results, place your wireless access point:

• Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.

Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation

or inability to wirelessly connect to the WG602v4.
