Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the
wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic
disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule,
slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with
different connection rates until you find the best one for your
environment. Note that all available transmission rates should
be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For more assistance,
see your wireless card’s user manual.
I’ve
installed
this
new
Router
and
some
of
my
network
clients
(computers,
game
consoles,
etc.)
are
now
unable
to
connect.
Your
new
Router
came
pre
‐
configured
with
a
network
name
and
password,
found
printed
on
an
attached
card.
All
clients
must
use
this
network
name
and
password
to
connect
wirelessly
to
your
Router.
You
will
need
to
find
the
network
settings
on
your
client,
select
the
network
name
printed
on
the
card
from
the
list
of
available
networks,
and
enter
the
password
when
prompted
to
join
the
wireless
network.
Does
the
Router
support
Wireless
Protected
Access
(WPA)
security?
The
Router
ships
with
WPA/WPA2
security
turned
on.
Windows
XP
and
some
older
network
hardware
may
require
a
software
update
to
support
WPA/WPA2.
I
am
having
difficulty
setting
up
WPA
security
on
my
Router.
1)
Log
in
to
your
Router
by

”
or

”
with
your
web
browser.
Click
“Security”
under
the
WiFi
heading.
You
should
now
be
on
the
Security
page.
2)
Under
Security
Mode,
select
WPA/WPA2
‐
Personal
(PSK).
3)
Select
“WPA/WPA2”
from
the
drop
‐
down
menu
under
the
Authentication
heading.
4)
Enter
a

This
can
be
from
8–63
characters
of
your
choice,
including
spaces
and
punctuation,
OR
a
64
‐
digit
hexadecimal
number
(using

0–9
and
