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 visiting “ http://router/ ” or
“ http://192.168.2.1 ” 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 password. This can be from 8–63 characters of your
choice, including spaces and punctuation, OR a 64-digit
hexadecimal number (using only the numbers 0–9 and letters
A–F).
