3.2 Setting up Wireless Client

If you choose to access the router via a wireless client, also verify
the following:

1. Make sure your PC is equipped with 802.11g or 802.11b

wireless adapter and has appropriate WLAN card driver/utility
and TCP/IP installed.

2. Set the wireless adapter to use appropriate TCP/IP settings as

described in previous section.

3. Launch the wireless adapter’s provided utility and verify that

your wireless client is configured with these settings:

Operation Mode: Infrastructure

SSID: 11g AP

Authentication: Open

WEP Mode: Disabled

Note: If you only finished the wireless settings and didn’t configure
the wireless adapter’s TCP/IP settings, even your link status
indicates a successful connection with the AP, this connection
applies to the “physical” network layer only. Your wireless adapter
cannot communicate with the AP. Make sure to set the TCP/IP
properties as described in previous section.
