3.2 Wireless Network Setup

The NWA1300-NJ is connected to a broadband modem with Internet access. Thomas wants to set up a wireless network so that the users can use their notebooks or computers to wirelessly access the Internet through the NWA1300- NJ. In this wireless network, the NWA1300-NJ serves as an access point (AP), and the notebook with a wireless network card or USB/PCI adapter is the wireless client. The wireless client can access the Internet through the AP.

Thomas has to configure the wireless network settings on the NWA1300-NJ. Then users can set up a wireless network using manual configuration (Section 3.2.2 on page 28).
