Setting up the PC

For this section, refer to the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the WLAN USB key to help you to find and join the "house" network.

1You may need to install the software for the WLAN USB key on the PC, if this has not already been done.

2Plug WLAN USB key into a USB port on the PC.

3Use the software of the WLAN USB key to detect the network.

4Join the network "house" once this has been detected.

5Now set up the WLAN network connection of your PC.

To guide you through this stage, refer to the paragraph “Setting the parameters for a connection” in the manufacturer’s instructions.

To do this, you must configure the element Protocol Internet (TCP/IP) for the WLAN connection that has been created. If this element is set up in such a way as to obtain an IP address automatically, you must change it to manual mode to set up the TCP/IP address ("169.254.0.1" in our example), the subnet mask ("255.255.0.0" in our example) and the default gateway ("0.0.0.0" in our example).
