Determine the name of your access point. To find the name of your access point, refer to the labels on the bottom of the access point. The access point name should be similar to this, netgear10d4b5. 2. Open your web browser. (For example, this may be Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.) 3. At the top of the window, in the Address or Location box, type the name of your access point and press enter. (You do not need to type the prefix "www" or "http://.") Note: There is no space required between "netgear" and the 6 digits of the access point name. Once you have entered your access point name, your web browser should automatically find the WG602 Access Point and display the WG602 home page, as shown above. You may access the WG602 information page by specifying either the IP address or the WG602 Access Point name. For advanced users: To access the WG602 Web Server home page on the WG602 Access Point, we suggest that you have a DHCP server on the Ethernet Network. If there is no accessible DHCP server, the WG602 Access Point will default to the IP address of 192.168.0.227 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You will need to configure the IP address of the computer to be within the same subnet for the initial configuration.
