= How To Configure NETGEAR EX3700 =

Items: EX3700 unit, Martian Unix host, GC computer (PC or Mac)

 1. Using the Martian Unix host, go to 192.168.113.232 (wireless router). Make the SSIDs for the 2GHz and 5GHz networks visible. Also temporarily set the MAC ADDR filtering to "Default Allow".

 1. Connect the unit on the wall power tap.

 1. Connect your PC to the ethernet port of the unit.

 1. You are prompted to set the e-mail and password of the unit. I used

    i. email: karai@caltech.edu
    i. password: same as the controls password "w*********"
    i. security question 1: answer 1991
    i. security question 2: answer Tsubono

 1. You are requested to specify which network the unit wants to connect. Give the SSID 40MARS and 40MARS_5G for 2GHz and 5GHz, respectively. 

 1. Give the name of the extended 2G/5G network. They are 40MARS_2GEXT1 and 40MARS_5GEXT1.

 1. Now the unit is connected to the wifi network. You should be able to connect to the same page by opening 192.168.1.128/start.htm . It helps you as the browser interface is slight easier to handle than the dialog browser window.

 1. The unit still has the initial IP of 192.168.1.XXX. Let's change this to 192.168.113.XXX. 
    i. From the menu at the top left corner, slect "Setting / Wireless"
    i. Go down to IP Address
    i. Select "Static IP". Type in the information like
        a. IP addr: 192.168.113.233
        a. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
        a. Gateway: 192.168.113.2
        a. DNS: 192.168.113.104
    i. Now put "Save". This disconnects you from the unit.
    i. Setup your ethernet connection of your PC/MAC to have static IP like
        a. IP addr: 192.168.113.239 (arbitorary but take care not to have a duplicated IP with others)
        a. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
        a. Gateway: 192.168.113.233
    i. This should give you the wired connection recovered.
 1. Confirm you can ping your PC (192.168.113.239) from the martian unix host.
 1. Confirm the wireless bridge is registered in the MAC ADDR filter. Revert the MAC ADDR filter setting to have "Default Deny".
 1. Revert hidden SSID setup for the wireless router.
