For Computers that will be connected as Wireless clients:
The first step is similar to that of wired PCs connected to the Fast Ethernet. We have to
ensure that the wireless client gets an IP address for which it will use to communicate with
the router and each other across the network.
Hence, refer to Part 1(a) and (b) for the setup instructions, while noting that the likely
network connection name you will encounter in Windows XP is
Wireless Network
Connection
corresponding to the wireless Ethernet adapter you use.
Once you have completed the IP configuration for the wireless client, you may proceed
to set up your wireless client’s SSID (Network name) so that it will connect with the router.
Part 1(e) : Configuring your Wireless Client…
If you are using Microsoft Windows XP
1. Right-click on
Wireless Network
Connection
corresponding to the
wireless Ethernet adapter you wish to
connect with the router, and click on
Properties
.
2. On the dialog box presented, click the
Wireless Networks
tab, and click on the
Add
button.

Important: Windows 98SE/ME/2000 users, the following
configuration steps for wireless client setup may differ for
different wireless Ethernet adapters with vendor specific
driver utilities. Please refer to your adapter’s manual for
more information.
