Configure and test your PCs for wireless connectivity.

Program the wireless adapter of your PCs to have the same SSID and channel that you
configured in the router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP
address by DHCP from the firewall.

Once your PCs have basic wireless connectivity to the firewall, then you can configure the
advanced wireless security functions of the firewall.

match the firewall’s new settings.
