Consider Every Device on Your Network

Before you begin, check the following:

Every wireless computer has to be able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the modem router as described in Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP on page 18.

Each computer or wireless adapter in your network must have the same SSID and wireless mode (bandwidth/data rate) as the modem router. Check that the wireless adapter on each computer can support the mode and security option you want to use.

The security option on each wireless device in the network must match the modem router. For example, if you select a security option that requires a passphrase, be sure to use same passphrase for each wireless computer in the network.
