Access the Wireless Controller

To access the wireless controller:

1. On your computer, open a browser. In the address field, type

http://192.168.0.250.

The wireless controller’s login screen displays:

2. Enter admin for the user name and password for the password,

both in lowercase letters.

3. Click the Login button.

The wireless controller’s web management interface displays.

Configure the Basic Settings

To configure the basic settings:

1. From the main navigation menu, select Configuration >

System > General.

2. Enter a name for the wireless controller.

3. Select the country in which the wireless controller is used.

4. Click the Apply button.

5. Select Configuration > System > Time.

6. Select the time zone in which the wireless controller is used.

7. (Optional) Configure the NTP settings.

8. Click the Apply button.

9. Select Configuration > System > IP/VLAN.

10. Enter the IP settings for your network and the VLANs that you want

to assign to the wireless controller.

Note: For large deployments, NETGEAR recommends that

the wireless controller and access points are in separate

VLANs to ensure uninterrupted connectivity between the

wireless controller and the access points.

Note: Clear the Untagged VLAN check box only if the hubs

and switches in your network support the VLAN (802.1Q)

standard. Change the untagged VLAN value only if the hubs

and switches in your network support the VLAN (802.1Q)

standard.

11. Click the Apply button.

The connection to the wireless controller is terminated because

you have changed its IP address.

12. Reconfigure your computer with an IP address and subnet mask

that is in the same IP subnet as the wireless controller. Use the

new IP address of the wireless controller to log in again.

13. Select Configuration > System > DHCP Server. The Discovery

Wizard (see Discover Access Points) requires a DHCP server to

discover the access points. If you already have a DHCP server

in your network, disable the DHCP server on the wireless

controller. Otherwise, configure the DHCP settings for the DHCP

server on the wireless controller.

14. Click Apply.

15. Decide whether to use the basic profile group (suitable for a

small WLAN) or one or more advanced profile groups (suitable

for a large WLAN):

•Basic. Allows up to eight profiles (16 for dual-band access

points), each of which has its own SSID, security, MAC ACL,

rate-limiting settings, WMM settings, and so on.

a. Select Configuration > Profile > Basic > Radio.

b. Configure one or more profiles, each with its SSID and

security settings.

c. Click the Apply button.

•Advanced. Allows up to eight profile groups. Each group

includes all the settings that are required to configure a fully

functional access point with up to eight security profiles (16 for

dual-band access points).

a. Select Configuration > Profile > Advanced > Radio.
