This step assumes that you already have a wireless adapter installed on
the computer(s) that you wish to connect wirelessly to the Router.
To connect to the Router wirelessly, you must set your computer's wireless
settings to the same settings as those on the Router. Your Router ships from
the factory with default settings for the SSID (ESSID), the Channel, and
the Encryption.
1. Set the wireless computer's wireless configuration to match the Router's
default settings. For information about changing these settings, refer to the
documentation of your wireless network adapter. Change the settings to
match the settings below:
Mode
Infrastructure
SSID
WLAN
Channel
11
Encryption
Disabled
2. If you have already set up your computer's networking settings using the
Belkin SOHO Networking Software, skip this step. If not, either follow the
directions in Step 3a, or if you are familiar with TCP/IP and file and
peripheral sharing, configure the TCP/IP settings of the wireless adapter to
"Obtain IP Address Automatically" (PC) or "Use DHCP" (Mac).
Verify That Your Computers are Networked
Windows
Once you have set up all of your computers, you can check to see if they
are all "networked" together.
1. Starting with any computer, double-click on the "Network Neighborhood"
icon on your desktop.
2. You should see an icon in the Network Neighborhood window with the
name that you provided for your workgroup. Double-click this icon.
