Appendix A: Tips for setting up computers
and other devices on a wireless network
This appendix provides tips for wireless setup up computers and/or other devices that have
built-in wireless capabilities and/or a wireless adapter. This information supplements
information in chapters 1 and 2.
Note that for
each
computer or other device added to your wireless network, you will need to take
appropriate steps for setting up that computer or other device. To do that, select one of the
possibilities for that computer or other device below:
¾
Most newer
Windows 7, Vista, and XP computers have built-in wireless networking
capabilities and do not require the installation of a wireless adapter. If this is the case, you set up
that computer’s wireless connection using the Windows 7, Vista, or XP connect utility. See
the
sections below on connecting
Windows 7
(page 98),
Vista
(page 98), or
XP
(page 100)
computers with built-in wireless capabilities.
¾
Some
computers
may have
built-in wireless networking
capabilities, but do not use the Windows
7, Vista, or XP utility to configure their device. These computers are covered on page 101 under
Connecting Some Wireless-enabled Computers or other Devices (including the iPhone or
other cellular phones and the iPod Touch) to the Cable Modem/Router.

If you have a
non-computer wireless device like an iPhone or other cellular phone, an iPod
Touch, or an iPad or other tablet computer
, see the instructions on page 101 for
Connecting a
Wireless-enabled Computer or Device to the Cable Modem/Router
.
¾
Some
computers
may need a
wireless network adapter installed
. This can be a USB adapter, PC
Card adapter, or PCI adapter. When you install the adapter, make sure that it is set to
infrastructure
or
access point
mode (NOT
ad-hoc
or
peer-to-peer
mode). If you need help installing your wireless
adapter or setting its mode, refer to the documentation that came with it. After you install the adapter,
see the instructions on page 101 for
Connecting a Computer with a wireless adapter to the Cable
Modem/Router
.
