PC Configuration

Wireless Station Configuration

This section applies to all Wireless stations wishing to use the Wireless-N Broadband Router's
Access Point, regardless of the operating system which is used on the client.

To use the Wireless Access Point in the Wireless-N Broadband Router, each Wireless Station
must have compatible settings, as follows:

Mode

The mode must be set to

Infrastructure

(rather than Ad-hoc)

Access points only operate in

Infrastructure

mode.

SSID (ESSID)

This must match the value used on the Wireless-N Broadband Router.

Note! The SSID is case sensitive.

Wireless
Security

By default, Wireless security on the Wireless-N Broadband Router is
disabled.

•

If Wireless security remains disabled on the Wireless-N Broadband
Router, all stations must have wireless security disabled.

•

If Wireless security is enabled on the Wireless-N Broadband
Router, each station must use the same settings as the Wireless-N
Broadband Router.

Wireless Configuration on Windows XP

If using Windows XP to configure the Wireless interface on your PC, the configuration proce-
dure is as follows:

1. Open the Network Connections folder. (

Start - Settings - Network Connections

Figure 26: Network Connections (Windows XP)

2. Right-click the Wireless Network Connection, check that it is enabled (menu option says

Disable

, rather than

Enable

) and then select

View Available Wireless Networks

3. You will then see a list of wireless networks.
