FAQ #1

• What the different between the WG602 and WG102?– Super G – Dynamic 108 Mbps.– SNMP.– Full WPA.– Plenum-rating for fire safety and the ability to place in

plenum air spaces.– PoE.– Blue meta case.


FAQ #2

• What is the different before the WG302 and WG102?– WG302 has 2 detachable 5 dBi antenna.– WG302 has console port for CLI interface.– WG302 has SSH and SSL remote management access.


FAQ #3

• When will the WG102 support WPA2 or 80211i?– The WG102 will ship with WPA-Enterprise at launch. By

Q205, WPA2 or 802.11i will be available via free firmware upgrade. At that same time, all WG102s will ship with WPA2.

• Does WG102 support AutoCell?– No.


FAQ #4

• What is PoE and how do I use it?– Power over Ethernet is an IEEE 802.3af specification that

enables the ability to use Ethernet cables to supply power to different nodes on the network, such as Access Points. If a switch, such as the NETGEAR FSM726P, has ports that support this standard, one can simply attach the AP to the switch with an Ethernet cable - no additional power supply is needed. This simplifies installation as there is no need for extra wires and no need to place an AP near a power outlet. If a switch does not have PoE ports, the WG102 can still be powered via the Ethernet cable, with an optional accessory from PowerDsine, called a midspan, to enable this feature.

• Is WG102 compatible with Netgear POE101?– No, POE101 is designed for ME102 and ME103.


FAQ #5

• Does WG102 have a signal booster option similar to the ME103BDL1?– Not at this time. However, all Netgear antennas are

compatible with the WG102.

• What are the antenna options for WG102?– ANT2405 – 5 dBi Omni-directional antenna.– ANT24D18 – 18 dBi directional antenna.– ANT2409 – 9 dBi Omni-directional antenna.
