Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you specify in the modem router. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection.
4.Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate.
5.Set the channel if necessary. The default channel is 11.
This field determines which operating frequency will be used. 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 modem router. For more information about the wireless channel frequencies, see the online document that you can access from “Preparing Your Network” in Appendix B.
Note: Up to 270Mbps mode uses two channels, but in this mode only the first chan- nel is listed in the channel pulldown menu. The associated channels in this mode are: 1+5, 2+6, 3+7, 4+8, 5+9, 6+10, and 7+11. When you select another wireless network mode, the channel pulldown displays all available channels: 1 through 13. However, available wireless channels depend on the selected wireless region.
6.For initial configuration and test, leave the Wireless Card Access List set to allow everyone access by making sure that Turn Access Control On is not selected in the Wireless Station Access List. In addition, leave the encryption strength set to None.
7.Click Save to save your settings or click Apply to allow your changes to take effect immediately.
8.Configure and test your computers for wireless connectivity.
Program the wireless adapter of your computers to have the same SSID and channel that you specified in the router. Check that they have a wireless link and can obtain an IP address by DHCP from the modem router.
Once your computers have basic wireless connectivity to the modem router, you can configure the advanced wireless security functions of the firewall.
