3 Configuring Your Computer
This takes the Windows XP operating system (OS) as an example to describe how to
configure your computer. For other OSs, the configurations may be different and you need
to configure them as required.
Wireless Configuration
The wireless configuration allows your PC to connect to the device through the wireless
network. If you need only the Ethernet to connect your PC, you can skip this part.
Configuration Requirements
Ÿ To set up wireless network connection, your PC must be configured with the WLAN
adapter that supports the IEEE 802.11 b/g protocol.
Ÿ If the encryption function is enabled, you need to ensure that all PCs connecting to the
device use the same key as that of the device.
Ÿ For the use of WLAN adapter, refer to the WLAN adapter user guide provided by the
manufacturer.
Ÿ For the encryption configurations, see "Configuring the WLAN Encryption Mode."
Ÿ For SSID parameters configuration, see "Configuring WLAN Settings."

Connection.
2. Click Show Wireless Networks to display the wireless network connection list.
