Netgear WGPS606 Setup

By Mark Nelson

It can be quite difficult to get the WGPS606 setup if you are not familiar with computer networking. The Instructions that come in the box are a bit vague and if you have a set up that requires a bit more tweaking you are pretty much left to your own devices. The same applies if you have Windows Vista.

In order to set the WGPS606 up for the first time you need to connect using an Ethernet cable plugged in to one of the ports on the back and directly into a computer.

The default username is 'admin' and password is 'password' as shown on the bottom of the device.
Not mentioned anywhere in the instructions is the default IP address which is 192.168.0.102

There is no DHCP server built into this device either so you may need to set a fixed IP on the machine you are using to connect to it in order to establish communications (see link below). Once you have done that you should be able to access the built in control panel and set it up as required.

Once the device has been connected to the wireless network ensure you get a new IP address from your wireless router then disconnect the cable before trying to connect a PC to a printer port. If you don't do this the setup program on the CD will connect the to the printers using the IP address accessible via the cable which may not be accessible via wireless.

The WGPS606 will also work with Windows Vista but for some reason the setup program doesn't. To get connected to a printer using the WGPS606 and Vista you will need to add a new printer port manually. The link below explains how to do this.

If you are just intending to use the WGPS606 as a bridge the setup is the same but you will not need to worry about the printer aspects.
