Connecting to a Network using Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless

● Setup a secure wireless network using WPA

● Setup your wireless network with a new network name and no security (Anyone can access my network).

The Linksys Access Point is setup with factory defaults, which include no security (open authentication) and linksys-g as the network name (SSID). In this

state, your wireless network is not secure and allows others to easily monitor any data transfer over the wireless link.

Configure a Linksys (EOU) Access Point

To configure a Linksys Access Point from your Intel Centrino laptop computer:

Wireless Network Configuration Wizard - Step 1

Welcome to Wireless Network Configuration

This dialog box displays when a Linksys (EOU) access point is within the range of your wireless adapter and starts the first step to establish a secure wireless

connection with your Intel Centrino laptop computer.

● Do not launch this Wizard again: Click to postpone this process to a later time.

NOTE:

You can re-enable this feature in the Intel PROSet/Wireless

Application Settings.

1. Click Next to continue.

Verify Ownership of your Linksys Access Point - Step 2

The ownership identification step prevents the wizard from trying to configure the wrong wireless device.

The character ownership key must be verified before your notebook can communicate with the access point.

2. Find the Ownership ID and Device ID key printed on the bottom of your Linksys Access Point or Wireless Router and enter it in the appropriate box.

● Ownership ID: Enter the eight-character ownership identification key.

● Device ID: Enter the eight-character device identification key

NOTE:

A Linksys access point without an ownership identification key printed on it does not support the Intel(R) Smart Wireless Solutions feature and cannot be configured using

the Configuration Wizard. Click Cancel to close the Configuration Wizard and refer to your Linksys User Guide.

3. Click Next to continue.
