NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG302 Reference Manual Viewing Available Wireless Station Statistics The Available Wireless Station List lists each wireless access point and client node associated with this Access Point. For each device, the table shows the Station ID, MAC address, IP Address, and Status (whether the device is allowed to communicate with the wireless access point or not). Note: A wireless network can include multiple wireless access points, all using the same network name (SSID). This enables extending the reach of the wireless network and allows users to roam from one access point to another, providing seamless network connectivity. Under these circumstances, be aware that only the stations associated with this access point will be presented in the Available Station List. To view the Wireless Station List: 1. From the main menu of the browser interface under Information, select Available Wireless Station List. Figure 3-6. 2. Click Refresh to update the list. Tip: If the wireless access point is rebooted, the table data is lost until the wireless access point rediscovers the devices. To force the wireless access point to look for associated devices, click the Refresh button. Upgrading the Wireless Access Point Firmware The software of the ProSafe 802.11g is stored in Flash memory, and can be upgraded as new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from the NETGEAR Web site. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the image (.RMG) file before sending it to the wireless access point. The upgrade file can be sent using your browser. Management 3-9 v4.0, April 2006
