Wireless Connection to Router

WARNING!

When first configuring your router, it is recommended that you have an Ethernet cable connected to the router. Performing the INITIAL configuration using a wireless connection is not secure and is not recommended.

After you have finished the initial configuration of the router, your connection will be secure and you can safely use either a wired or wireless connection.

If you are connecting your client wirelessly to the router, you can use the Motorola WPCI810G, a wireless PCI card for your desktop PC. If you have a laptop, the Motorola WN825G wireless PC card provides access. A Motorola WU830G wireless USB adapter can also provide wireless access for desktops or laptops.

The WN825G and WPCI810G are not supported under Windows® 95, Windows 98, nor Windows NT. Windows 98SE Windows, Me®, Windows 2000, and Windows XP™ are supported. The WN825GP and WPCI810GP are supported under Windows 2000 and XP only.
