Chapter 1
Introduction
This chapter describes some of the key features of the NETGEAR RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N
Access Point. It also includes the minimum prerequisites for installation (“System Requirements”
on page 1-2.), package contents (“What’s in the Box” on page 1-3) and a description of the front
and back panels of the WN802T (“Front Panel of the RangeMax NEXT” on page 1-3).
About the RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N Access Point
The WN802T extends your home or small business network by providing high-speed wireless
access of up to 300 Mbps1, with Gigabit wired support at the back end. RangeMax NEXT
WN802T is compliant with draft 802.11n. This next generation wireless standard utilizes
advanced MIMO (Multi-In, Multi-Out) technology, which delivers incredible speed and range, and
for the first time provides wireless interoperability at the highest speeds with other products such
as Top Dog™.
A RangeMax NEXT wireless network creates and maintains stable connections and enough
bandwidth to surf the Internet, check email, make Internet phone calls, share files and stream high-
definition videos, simultaneously, at any distance or location in the home or office. RangeMax
NEXT is compatible with all legacy b and g wireless products.
Preset internal antenna and draft 11n-True-Test high-performance testing and tuning provides
maximum performance and high-quality streaming every time.
Key Features
The RangeMax NEXT is easy-to-use and provides the following features:
• RangeMax™ Multi-In, Multi-Out (MIMO) technology
• Complies with draft 802.11n2, and is backwards compatible with 802.11b/g.
1. Maximum wireless signal derived from IEEE standard 802.11 specification. Actual data throughput will vary.
Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and
construction and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.
2. Ibid.

RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N Access Point WN802T Reference Manual
1-2 Introduction
v1.0, August 2007
• Delivers stable, application enhancing connections using Steady-Stream technology.
• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) encryption and authentication
• RADIUS authentication support
• Easy, Web-based setup for installation and management.
• NetBIOS login capability.
• Front panel LEDs for easy monitoring of status and activity.

information, such as video or audio, to have a higher priority than normal traffic.To implement
WMM correctly, wireless clients must also support WMM. (Not available in Client Mode.)
• Operates in three modes for maximum flexibility:
–Access Point. In this mode, operates as a standard 802.11b/g wireless access point.
–Wireless Multi-Point Bridging. In this mode, acts as the “master” for a group of bridge-
mode wireless stations.
–Repeater with Wireless Client Association. In this mode, operates as both a wireless
access point and a wireless bridge.

Wall Mount Kit
A Wall Mount kit that allows you to conveniently and securely mount your WN802T to a wall is
included with your wireless access point. The kit includes a top and bottom bracket. Four screws
are required to install the brackets and are not supplied with the kit. For instructions to install the
the wall mount kit, see “Installing the Wall Mount Kit (Optional)” on page 2-10.

Chapter 2
Installation and Configuration
This chapter describes how to set up your RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N Access Point for wireless
connectivity to your LAN. This basic configuration will enable computers with 802.11b/g/Next or
802.11b/g wireless adapters to connect to the Internet, or access printers and files on your LAN.
You need to prepare these three things before you can establish a connection through your wireless
access point:
• A location for the WN802T that conforms to the “Wireless Equipment Placement and Range
Guidelines” below.
• The wireless access point connected to your LAN through a device such as a hub, switch,
router, or Cable/DSL gateway.
• One or more computers with properly configured 802.11b/g/Next or 802.11b/g wireless
adapters.
Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines
The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the
physical placement of the wireless access point. The latency, data throughput performance, and
notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration
choices.
Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11b/g/Next or 802.11b/g wireless
networks at ranges of several hundred feet or more. This distance can allow for
others outside your area to access your network. It is important to take appropriate
steps to secure your network from unauthorized access. The RangeMax NEXT
provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in
“Understanding WN802T Wireless Security Options” on page 3-1. Deploy the
security features appropriate to your needs

RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N Access Point WN802T Reference Manual
2-2 Installation and Configuration
v1.0, August 2007
For best results, place your wireless access point:
• Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have line-of-
sight access (even if through walls).
• Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones.
• Away from large metal surfaces.
A Wall Mount Kit is provided with your wireless access point. For installation instructions, see
“Installing the Wall Mount Kit (Optional)” on page 2-10.
If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio frequency
Channels to reduce interference. The recommended Channel spacing between adjacent access
points is 5 Channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement. Some types of security connections can take slightly longer to establish
and can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.
System Requirements
Before installing the WN802T, make sure your system meets these requirements:
• A 10/100/1000 Mbps Local Area Network device such as a hub, router, or switch.
• The Category 5 UTP straight through Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector included in the
package, or one like it.
• The 100-240 V, 50-60 HZ AC Switching Power Source that came with your device.
• A Web browser for configuration such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or above, Netscape
Navigator 4.78 or above or Mozilla Firefox.
• At least one computer with the TCP/IP protocol installed.
• 802.11n-compliant wireless adapters or 802.11b/g-compliant devices.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation
or inability to wirelessly connect to the WN802T. For complete performance
specifications, see Appendix A, “Default Settings and Technical Specifications”.
