  1. Rana Radwan LTEC 4550Configuring a laptop to access a Wireless Access Point

  2. What Was Needed • Wireless Router • Laptop • Internet Connection • Ethernet Cable • Broadband Router

  3. Setting Up the Router • Start by placing the cd in the laptop that came with the wireless router. • My laptop automatically opened the cd content. • Upon startup, it asked to select a language: English • Then pressed Next • I had to agree with the agreement • Then pressed Next again • Then the adapter is checked to make sure that it works and my network status

  4. STEP 1 • I had to unplug the Ethernet cable from the laptop and plug it into the yellow point labeled Internet on the back of my wireless router.

  5. STEP 2 • I then connected one end of the blue Ethernet cable to the blue part of the #1 wireless router. • I then connected the other end to my laptop

  6. STEP 3 • In the next step, I had to connect the power cord that came with the wireless router.

  7. STEP 4 • I then was successful setting it and was ready to configure the router. • The only problems that I encountered is that it took some time to discover my router. Once it found it, it all fell in place and gave me step by step instruction.

  8. IP Address • In order to configure my settings, I had to enter my IP address in Internet Explorer. 192.168.1.1 • Asked me for the user name and password. • Since it was my first time setting it up, the default user name is admin and there is not a password. • Once I was logged in, I went to the administration tab and added a password and clicked on save settings at the bottom of the screen.

  9. Wireless Tab • Then I clicked on the wireless tab. • Where it said Wireless Network Mode: Mixed • Wireless Network Name (SSID) kept it as linksys • I also kept the wireless channel the same • On the Wireless Broadcast I left Enable just in case I ever forgot what the SSID name I put • Then I saved the settings again

  10. Wireless Security Tab • Then I clicked on over to the wireless security tab • The security mode that I selected: WEP • My wireless Encryption level is at: 128 bits 26 hex digits which is the most secure • I then let it generate its own WEP key • Then again I had to save the settings

  11. What I See On the Screen

  12. Set Up and Ready to use • Now that I can see my wireless connection, I can now connect wirelessly and use my laptop without having to connect with wires.

  13. THE END
