change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby
wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless
networks within several hundred feet of your firewall. For more information on the wireless
channel frequencies please refer to
“Wireless Channels“ on page D-7 .

Configure and test your PCs for wireless connectivity.
Program the wireless adapter of your PCs to have the same SSID and channel that you
configured in the router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP
address by DHCP from the firewall.
Once your PCs have basic wireless connectivity to the firewall, then you can configure the
advanced wireless security functions of the firewall.
Restricting Wireless Access to Your Network
The DG824M Wireless ADSL Modem Gateway provides several ways to restrict wireless access
to your network:
• Turn off wireless connectivity completely
• Restrict access based on the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
• Restrict access based on the Wireless Card Access List
These options are discussed below.
Note: If you are configuring the firewall from a wireless PC and you change the
firewall’s SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection
when you click on Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of your PC to
match the firewall’s new settings.
