How to Set Up and Test Basic Wireless Connectivity
Follow the instructions below to set up and test basic wireless connectivity. Once you have
established basic wireless connectivity, you can enable security settings appropriate to your needs.
1. Log in to the FWAG114 firewall at its default LAN address of
http://192.168.0.1 with its
default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN
address and password you have set up.
2. Depending on the types of wireless adapters you have in your computers, click the Wireless
11a or 11b link in the main menu of the FWAG114 firewall.
3. Choose a suitable descriptive name for the wireless network name (SSID). In the SSID box,
enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is NETGEAR.
Note: The characters are case sensitive. An access point always functions in infrastructure
mode. The SSID for any wireless device communicating with the access point must match the
SSID configured in the Model FWAG114 Cable/DSL Wireless ProSafe Firewall . If they do
not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the FWAG114.
4. Set the Channel.
It should not be necessary to 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
.
5. For initial configuration and test, leave the Wireless Card Access List set to “All Wireless
Stations” and the Encryption Strength set to “Disable.”
6. Click Apply to save your changes.
