Chapter 4: Setting up and Connecting the Wireless-N PCI Adapter
Setting up the Adapter
Wireless-N PCI Adapter
Available Wireless Networks
The available networks are listed in the table on the center of the screen by Wireless Network Name. Select the
wireless network you wish to connect to and click the
Connect
button. (If you do not see your network listed, you
can click the
Refresh
button to bring the list up again.) If the network uses wireless security, you will need to
configure security on the Adapter. If not, you will be taken directly to the
Congratulations
screen.
1. If you have wireless security enabled on your network, continue to step 2. If you don’t have wireless security
enabled, continue to step 3.
2. If your network has WEP, PSK-Personal, or PSK2-Personal wireless security enabled, then that security screen
will appear. Continue to the section for your wireless security method.
WEP
If you have WEP enabled, this screen will appear. Select
64-bit
or
128-bit
encryption. Then enter a
passphrase or WEP key.
Passphrase - Enter a passphrase in the
Passphrase
field, so a WEP key is automatically generated. The
passphrase is case-sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. It must match the
passphrase of your other wireless network devices and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (If
you have any non-Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually on those products.)
WEP Key - The WEP key you enter must match the WEP key of your wireless network. For 64-bit encryption,
enter exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. For 128-bit encryption, enter exactly 26 hexadecimal characters.
Valid hexadecimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.
Then click
Connect
and proceed to step 3.
PSK-Personal
If your network has the wireless security PSK-Personal enabled, this screen will appear.
Encryption - Select the type of algorithm you want to use,
TKIP
or
AES
, from the
Encryption
drop-down menu.
Pre-shared Key - Enter a Pre-shared key of 8-63 characters in the
Pre-shared Key
field.
Then click
Connect
and proceed to step 3.
