NetGear wireless setup help needed

Expand Post »
I think I screwed up the installation of my NetGear WG602v2 wireless access point. I followed the installation guide (configured my pc with the ip address of the WG602, connected the wg602 to the ethernet port, connected to the wg602 and logged in) up to the step "click the IP Settings link and configure the IP Settings according to your network setup." Here is where I think I made my mistake -- I changed the IP settings to my network ip settings. I immediately lost connection to the wg602 and I have not been able to connect back to it. MY question is how do I undo this? I have installed the installed the adapter into a laptop and it sees the signal from the wg602 but there is no communications. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do from here?

Re: NetGear wireless setup help needed

Is there some kind of reset button on the back of the device? Can you remember the IP address that you entered, if so, try connecting to that address.

Re: NetGear wireless setup help needed

Heh,heh -- you bet!

After a good night of sleep, the panic subsided and I found the reset button. This time I read all the docs, figured out which of the ambiguous statements I misinterpreted and, I think, got it set up correctly. I am waiting for my gf to come home with the laptop to verify that all is well.

I still think that "click the IP Settings link and configure the IP Settings according to your network setup." is too ambiguous when what they really mean is click 'enable IP Settings' button (the IP settings are filled in correctly from the factory).

I have Netgear and, yes, I have hooked up to wireless before. I have a friend who says my computer is trying to read the OLD wireless connection instead of the new. I have no clue what's going on!!! haha :rolleyes:

Re: NetGear wireless setup help needed

If it's trying to connect to an old wireless network, you should be able to go to Start-Control Panel-Network Connections-Wireless Network Connection-View Network Connections.
From there you will see the networks that are in range, if you are saving information for an old connection that is no longer in range, you should be able to refresh your network list and select your new one that will be in the list if you set the router up correctly...

just let me know what happens with that and we can work from there
