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 that it will use to communicate with the
router and other PCs across the network.
Hence, refer to Part 1(a) or (b) for the setup instructions, while noting that in Windows XP,
you will need to select Wireless Network Connection corresponding to the wireless
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 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.
