FCC Statement
DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
We Netgear,
4500 Great America Parkway
Santa Clara, CA 95054, USA
Tel: [phone]
declare under our sole responsibility that the product(s)
WG102 (Model Designation)
802.11g ProSafe Wireless Access Point (Product Name)
complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment. (Example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or
peripheral devices).
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.

November 2005
iv
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or locate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Placement and Range Guidelines
Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11 wireless networks at a maximum range of several hundred feet
for 802.11b/g devices. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary
significantly, based on the physical placement of the wireless access point.
For best results, identify a location for your wireless access point according to these guidelines:
• Away from potential sources of interference, such as PCs, large metal surfaces, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless
phones.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf that is near the center of the wireless coverage area for all mobile
devices.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to wirelessly
connect to the wireless access point.
RF Exposure Warning for North America, and Australia
Warning! To meet FCC and other national safety guidelines for RF exposure, the antennas for this device
(see below) must be installed to ensure a minimum separation distance of 20cm (7.9 in.) from persons.
Further, the antennas shall not be colocated with other antenna or radio transmitter.

Antenna Statement for North America and Australia
In addition to its own antenna, the WG102 device has been approved for use with the following detachable
antennas and antenna cables:
* WG102 maximum radiated power in North America and Australia: 19 dBm – cable loss + antenna gain
Please go to www.netgear.com/go/wg102_fcc for an updated list of wireless accessories approved to be used with
the WAG302 in North America and Australia.
Industry Canada Compliance Statement
This Class B Digital apparatus meets all the requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment
Regulations ICES 003.
Cet appareil numerique de classe B respecte les exigences du reglement du Canada sur le materiel brouilleur
NMB-003.
The device is certified to the requirements of RSS-210 for 2.4 GHz spread spectrum devices. The use of this

Chapter 2
Introduction
This chapter introduces the NETGEAR WG102 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point. Minimal
prerequisites for installation are presented in “System Requirements” on page 2-5.
About the NETGEAR WG102 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless
Access Point
The NETGEAR WG102 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point is the basic building block of a
wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and
radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices.
The WG102 provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a fixed
range or area of coverage, interacting with a wireless network interface card (NIC) via an antenna.
Typically, an individual in-building access point provides a maximum connectivity area with about
a 300 foot radius. The NETGEAR WG102 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point can support a
small group of users in a range of several hundred feet. Most access points are rated between 30-50
users simultaneously.
The NETGEAR WG102 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point acts as a bridge between the
wired LAN and wireless clients. Connecting multiple WG102 Access Points via a wired Ethernet
backbone can further lengthen the wireless network coverage. As a mobile computing device
moves out of the range of one access point, it moves into the range of another. As a result, wireless
clients can freely roam from one Access Point to another and still maintain seamless connection to
the network.
The auto-sensing capability of the NETGEAR WG102 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point
allows packet transmission at up to 108 Mbps, or at reduced speeds to compensate for distance or
electromagnetic interference.

Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point WG102
2-2 Introduction
November 2005
Key Features
The WG102 Access Point is easy-to-use and provides solid wireless and networking support.
Supported Standards and Conventions
The following standards and conventions are supported:
•Standards Compliant.The Wireless Access Point complies with the IEEE 802.11g for
Wireless LANs.
•WEP support. Support for WEP is included. 64-bit, 128-bit, and 152-bit keys are supported.
•Full WPA and WPA2 support. WPA and WPA2 enterprise class strong security with
RADIUS and certificate authentication as well as dynamic encryption key generation.
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK pre-shared key authentication without the overhead of RADIUS
servers but with all of the strong security of WPA.
•DHCP Client Support. DHCP provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon
request. The WG102 can act as a client and obtain information from your DHPC server.
•Multiple BSSID. Support for multiple BSSIDs. When one AP is connected to a wired
network and a set of wireless stations it is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). The Basic
Service Set Identifier (BSSID) is a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of
packets sent over a WLAN that differentiated one WLAN from another when a mobile device
tries to connect to the network.
•SNMP Support. Support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management
Information Base (MIB) management.
Key Features
The NETGEAR WG102 provides solid functionality, including these features
• Multiple Operating Modes
– Wireless Access Point. Operates as a standard 802.11g.
– Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WG102 only communicates with another
bridge-mode wireless station. You must enter the MAC address (physical address) of the
other bridge-mode wireless station in the field provided. WEP should be used to protect
this communication.
– Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge. Select this only if this WG102 is the “Master” for a group
of bridge-mode wireless stations. The other bridge-mode wireless stations must be set to
Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using this WG102's MAC address. They then send all traffic
to this “Master”, rather than communicate directly with each other. WEP should be used to
protect this traffic.
