6.4 Connecting PCs via Wireless
IMPORTANT: If you are connecting to the Router via a wireless network adapter, the SSID must be the same for
both the Router and your PC’s wireless network adapter. The default SSID for the Router is the serial number of the
unit (located below the bar code on the bottom of the unit and also on the shipping carton). Locate and run
the utility software provided with your PC’s Wireless network adapter and enter the SSID value. The PC’s wireless
network adapter must be configured with the SSID (in order to communicate with the Router) before you begin the
account setup and configuration procedures. Later, for privacy you can change the SSID by following the procedures
outlined in section 6, “Configuring Wireless Operations.”
Client PCs can use any Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) 802.11b/g/g+ certified card to communicate with the Router. The
Wireless card and Router must use the same security code type. If you use WPA-PSK or WEP wireless security,
you must configure your computer’s wireless adapter for the security code that you use. Consult the wireless
adapter’s manual for instructions on configuring the security parameters.
To network the Router to additional computers in your home or office using a wireless installation, you will need to
confirm the following:
1.
2.
3.
Ensure that an 802.11b/g wireless network adapter has been installed in each PC on your wireless network.
Verify the Wireless Operation is enabled on the router. Refer to section 6.1 for instruction.
Using the wireless adapter utility, establish connection to the router. Refer to the wireless adapter ’s manual for
instruction.
Congratulations! You have completed the Wireless installation for your Router.
