To use the Wireless Access Point in the Wireless ADSL Router, each Wireless Station must have compatible settings, as follows: Mode The mode must be set to Infrastructure (rather than Ad-hoc) Access points only operate in Infrastructure mode. SSID (ESSID) This must match the value used on the Wireless ADSL Router. Wireless Security By default, Wireless security on the Wireless ADSL Router is disabled. · · If Wireless security remains disabled on the Wireless ADSL Router, all stations must have wireless security disabled. If Wireless security is enabled on the Wireless Router (either WEP or WPA-PSK), each station must use the same settings as the Wireless ADLS Router. Wireless Configuration on Windows XP If using Windows XP to configure the Wireless interface on your PC, the configuration procedure is as follows: 1. (Start - Settings - Network Connections). Figure 33: Network Connections (Windows XP) 2. Right-click the Wireless Network Connection, check that it is enabled (menu option says Disable, rather than Enable) and then select View Available Wireless Networks. You will then see a list of wireless networks. 45 Wireless ADSL Router User Guide Figure 34 Wireless Networks (Windows XP) If the "Broadcast SSID" setting on the Wireless ADSL Router has been disabled, its SSID will NOT be listed. See the following section "If the SSID is not listed" for details of dealing with this situation. 4. The next step depends on whether or not Wireless security has been enabled on the Wireless ADSL Router. If Wireless Security is Disabled If Wireless security on the Wireless ADSL Router is disabled, Windows will warn you that the Wireless network is not secure. Figure 35 Insecure Wireless Network (Windows XP) 46 PC Configuration To connect: · · Check the checkbox Allow me to connect to the selected wireless network, even though it is not secure. The Connect button will then be available. Click the Connect button, and wait a few seconds for the connection to be established.

Disable the checkbox Enable IEEE 802. 1x authentication for this network. Click the Connect button. If this fails, click the Advanced button, to see a screen like the following: 47 Wireless ADSL Router User Guide Figure 37: Advanced - Wireless Networks Select the SSID for the Wireless ADSL Router, and click Configure, to see a screen like the following: Figure 38: Wireless Network Properties - WEP Configure this screen as follows: · · Set Network Authentication to match the Wireless ADSL Router. (If the setting on the Wireless ADSL Router is "Auto", then either Open or Shared can be used. ) For Data Encryption, select WEP. [. . . ] All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically generated, so no key input is required. WPA2-802. 1x This version of WPA2 requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802. 1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA2 standard. If this option is used: · · The Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. [. . . ]
