3.2.2 Creating your own wireless LAN
You can create your own wireless local area network (WLAN) in your
home using the WiFi-g™ card Software Access Point (Soft AP) feature.
Create your own WLAN if:
1. you do not have an existing access point in your home network
2. your computer is connected to the Internet and you intend to share the
connection to other computers in your home (other computers must
have an installed IEEE 802.11b/g wireless LAN adapter such as
Centrino notebooks or wireless-enabled PDAs)
3. you are using Windows
®
XP/Server 2003 or Linux operating system.
To create your own WLAN:
1. In the Operation Mode field,
select Create a new Wireless
LAN (AP), then select One
Touch (Recommended for
home users).
2. Click Next.
3. The wizard displays the device
SSID. The service set identifier
or SSID identifies a device in a
wireless network. A wireless
device must have the same
SSID as that of the WiFi-g™
card to establish connection.
Check the Data encryption
(WEP-enabled) option to
enable data encryption. Click
Next when finished.
By default, the wizard selects the wireless channel with the clearest
signal and disables data encryption. For home users, we
recommended that you keep the default settings for best results.
