NetGear WG602 802.11g/b Wireless Access Point - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

No to warner's locking the modem. 192.168.0.1 is the correct address for accessing the options within the modem. incidentally the Motorola wireless modem works better. Go on line to Netgear technical service and they will guide you through the task of setting up the system.

Hi,

The advertised power output of a NetGear WG602 is 16dbm, using an online converter, that would be 39.81 milliwatts.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Yes your Router supports UpnP. http://kbserver.netgear.com/pdf/wg602v3_manual.pdfHere is the manual where I found the information. Once the manual is open ctrl+F will open a find window. In the find window enter UPnP and click enter on your keyboard. This will take you to the section explaining UPnp and how it works on your router.Good Luck!!

To change the setting for windows 7, click start, click control panel, click network & internet, click network sharing, click connection, click lower left hand property, click Internet protocol version 4 (TCP?IPv4), click property and click obtain and IP address automatically. Your Router will asign IP address. Windows XP, Click start, click connect to, click to show all connection, right click to the wireless connection adapter, click the property and click the down arrow click to TCP/IP, click the property and change it to obtain IP address automatically. That should work for you. Get back to us if this information help you solve you solve the problem. Good day now.

Hi,

Yes, you need to plug that in the "DSL" port and then have another cord to plug from the LAN or ethernet port of the wireless to your computer... or hookup your computer wireless then...

I believe you are using the wrong IP. Try 192.168.0.1 instead. The way you can confirm is go to start>run type in "ipconfig" and press enter. Look for your gateway ipaddress. This is most commonly the IP you need to use to login to the router.

Assume using windows In control panel find the router. Vista look for the network and sharing centre), open this up and double click on network, you will see your router icon.
Right click on this and view device webpage.
The settings and options can be found in there

Sorry you will have to set it up again

Unfortunately, there is no way to recover a lost or forgotten password from a router or access point; you will need to reset the device to factory defaults. However, once the device is reset to factory defaults, you can use the default username ("admin") and password (either "password" or "1234" depending on your router) to reconfigure your router settings.

hope this helps

Please check your router must be present in open area not in any deep corner of in your house / office.

What do you mean by talk? Are you trying to bounce the wireless signal for a greater range?

unplug router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Then try. If needed, use network setup wizard.
You can also renew your pc's ip address by going to start menu, then run. Then type ipconfig/ release then type ipconfing /renew and everything should be fine.

if you have wired n/w avai check if the reaction is same. Also is any official AV installed on it? Some firewall activated?

On the WLAN world, exist a encryption key for connection. You will be able to see the "antenna", but until you enter the key you will not be able to access the network or the internet. First, disable the wireless security and try. Once you have verified the connection to internet then you add security. Use WEP.

It seems to be a hardware failure with the unit. Reset the AP using step below:

At the back of the router you will find a small tiny hole (which has a small button inside it). Press the button with the help of a paper clip. and hold it down for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, please release the button and power off the device for 5 seconds.

Check if you are able to access its configuration page using the steps below:

1. Connect the computer to the access point.
2. Click start button (extreme bottom left corner of the screen) on the computer.
3. Click Control Panel from the list.
4. Click on Network Connections.
5. Right click on 'Local Area connection' icon and click on properties.
6. Select Internet protocol TCP/IP from the list of components and click on properties.
7. Select use the following ip address.
8. Assign ip address as: 192.168.0.90 ; subnet mask as: 255.255.255.0 and Default Gateway as: 192.168.0.227
9. Press 'OK' and 'close' the properties window.
Login to the access point page using the following steps:
1. Open a browser (Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox).
2. Access the router (usually http://192.168.0.227).
3. Login to the AP(User Name = admin and Password = password).

Rate it, if it helps.

It has happened to me on a couple of occassions. Call your Internet Service Provider, sometimes you lose the connection because of something on their end. If they are any good they will walk you thru some troubleshooting steps to verify if its on their end or yours and set you up an work ticket to fix. If you have any questions let me know. Pls rate this solution.
