Test Basic Wireless Connectivity
After you have configured the wireless access point as explained in the previous sections,
test the computers on your LAN for wireless connectivity before you position and mount the
wireless access point at its permanent position.
To test for wireless connectivity:
1. Configure the 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n wireless adapters of your computers so that they
all have the same SSID and channel that you have configured on the wireless access
point.
2. Verify that your computers have a wireless link to the wireless acces s p o in t . If you have
enabled the DHCP server on the wireless access poi nt, verify tha t your computers are able
to obtain an IP address through DHCP from the wireless acc es s p oi nt .
3. Verify network connectivity by using a browser such as Internet Explorer 6.0 or later or
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later to browse the Internet, or check for file and printer access on your
network.
Note: If you have trouble connecting to the wireless access point, see
Chapter 6, Troubleshooting.
11a mode only Data Rate From the drop-down list, select the transmit data rate of the
wireless network. The default setting is Best. For a list of all
options that you can select from in 11a mode, see Factory

Output Power From the drop-down list, select the transmission power of the wireless access
point: Full, Half, Quarter, Eighth, Minimum. The default is Full.

access points are operating in the same area and on the same channel,
interference can occur.
Note: Make sure that you comply with the regulatory requirements for total radio
frequency (RF) output power in your country.
