Check these items:

that the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the wireless access point
and the network device—hub, (PoE) switch, or router.
• Make sure tha
t the connected device is turned on.
• Make sure tha
t the correct cable is used. Use a standard Category 5 Ethernet patch
cable. If the network device has Auto Uplink™ (MDI/MDIX) ports, you can use either a
crossover cable or a normal patch cable.

The wireless access point’s antenna is not working.
Check these items:

reconnect it again, or disconnect the adapter from its power source and then plug it in
again.

point.
Contact NETGEAR technical support if the WLAN LED remains off.

Wireless-Capable Computer
There is a configuration problem.
Check these items:
• Y
ou might not have restarted the computer with the wireless adapter to allow TCP/IP
changes take effect. Restart the computer.

ss point’s default values might not work with your network. Check the
wireless access point’s default configuration against the configuration of other devices in
your network.
