1. Enter the router’s IP address in the “Gateway” eld for the network
card and ensure the DNS settings are correct.
All wireless stations selected to use the Wireless G Broadband Travel
Router’s access point, regardless of the operating system used by the
client, must have compatible settings as shown below.
The mode must be set to “Infrastructure.” NOTE: The access
point is always in Infrastructure mode.
This must match the value used on the router in order for
various wireless stations and the access point — collectively referred
to as a basic service set, or BSS — to communicate with each other.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a standard for encrypting data
before it’s transmitted. It’s impossible to prevent “snoopers” from
receiving any data transmitted by your wireless stations, but if the
data is encrypted then it’s meaningless unless the receiver can
decrypt it.
By default, WEP on the router is disabled. If WEP remains disabled
on the router, all stations must also have WEP disabled. If WEP is
enabled on the router, each station must use the same setting (“Off,”
64 Bit” or “128 Bit”) as the router. This also applies to WEP Key (for
either 64- or 128-bit encryption) and WEP Authentication (either “Open
System” or “Shared Key”). NOTE: By default, this router will allow both
802.11b and 802.11g connections.
Though not a concern in terms of network compatibility, the
selection of wireless channels — which determines the radio frequencies
used for communication between stations and access points — is
nonetheless important to consider for network performance.
Access points use a xed channel, which allows you to choose a channel
that provides the least interference and best performance. In the U.S.
and Canada, 11 channels are available. If using multiple access points,
it is better if adjacent access points use different channels to reduce
interference.
