You may need to do the following to use a wireless client computer to access the Internet:
IF YOU:
Configured WPA on the gateway
Configured WEP on the gateway
Configured the Wireless Network Name
on the gateway
Configured a MAC Access Control List on
the gateway

Installing a Wireless Client for WPA

If you enabled WPA and set a PSK Passphrase by configuring WPA on the gateway, you must
configure the same passphrase (key) on each wireless client. The gateway cannot authenticate a client,
if:
•
WPA is enabled on the gateway but not on the client
•
The client passphrase does not match the SVG1202 PSK Passphrase
Never provide the PSK Passphrase to anyone who is not authorized to use your
WLAN.

Configuring a Wireless Client for WEP

If you enabled WEP and set a key by configuring WEP on the gateway, you must configure the same
WEP key on each wireless client. The gateway cannot authenticate a client, if:
•
Shared Key Authentication is enabled on the gateway, but not on the client
•
The client WEP key does not match the SVG1202 WEP key
For all wireless adapters, you must enter the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key generated by the gateway.
Never provide the WEP key to anyone who is not authorized to use your WLAN.

Configuring a Wireless Client with the Network Name (SSID)

After you specify the network name on the Wireless Basic Page, many wireless cards or adapters
automatically scan for an access point, such as the gateway and the proper channel and data rate. If
your card requires you to manually start scanning for an access point, follow the instructions in the
documentation supplied with the card. You must enter the same SSID in the wireless configuration
setup for the device to communicate with the gateway.
