User Manual for the NETGEAR WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter I have a gaming console, computer, and the wireless game adapter connected through a switch. The computer connects to the Internet but the gaming console can't. If using a switch or hub with an Ethernet-enabled gaming console, the gaming console must be powered on before the other Ethernet-enabled devices. With power on, disconnect everything from the switch or hub. Re-connect the WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter, then connect the game console(s). Finally, connect the other device(s). I can connect to an access point, but I cannot connect to other computers on the network or the Internet. This could be a physical layer problem or a network configuration problem. I am using Ad-Hoc mode and my two WGE111 Wireless Game Adapters cannot connect. This could be due to conflicting IP addresses. Check to make sure that the access point is physically connected to the Ethernet network. Make sure that the IP addresses and the Windows networking parameters are all configured correctly. Restart the cable or DSL modem, router, access point, and notebook PC. Each WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter is factory-shipped with the IP address 192.168.0.202. You should not use the same IP address for more than one device on your network. Change the IP address of one of the adapters. See "Using the NETGEAR Smart Wizard Configuration Assistant" on page 3-9 for information on setting the IP address. 5-4 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
I have a gaming
console, computer,
and the wireless
game adapter
connected through a
switch. The
computer connects
to the Internet but
the gaming console
can't.
If using a switch or
hub with an
Ethernet-enabled
gaming console, the
gaming console
must be powered on
before the other
Ethernet-enabled
devices.
With power on, disconnect everything from the
switch or hub. Re-connect the WGE111
Wireless Game Adapter, then connect the game
console(s).
Finally, connect the other device(s).
I can connect to an
access point, but I
cannot connect to
other computers on
the network or the
Internet.
This could be a
physical layer
problem or a
network
configuration
problem.
Check to make sure that the access point is
physically connected to the Ethernet network.
Make sure that the IP addresses and the
Windows networking parameters are all
configured correctly.
Restart the cable or DSL modem, router, access
point, and notebook PC.
I am using Ad-Hoc
mode and my two
WGE111 Wireless
Game Adapters
cannot connect.
This could be due
to conflicting IP
addresses.
Each WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter is
factory-shipped with the IP address
192.168.0.202. You should not use the same IP
address for more than one device on your
network.
Change the IP address of one of the adapters.
See
“Using the NETGEAR Smart Wizard
Configuration Assistant” on page 3-9
for
information on setting the IP address.
