Test Wireless Connectivity

After you have configured the UTM as explained in the previous
sections, test your wireless clients for wireless connectivity before
you place the UTM at its permanent position.
To test for wireless connectivity:
1.
Configure the 802.11 wireless clients so that they all have the
same SSID that you have configured on the UTM, for example,
netgear-1 (the default SSID). Make sure that the wireless mode
on the UTM supports the wireless capacity of the wireless
clients.
2.
Verify that your wireless clients have a link to the UTM.
3.
Verify network connectivity by using a browser such as Internet
Explorer 7.0 or later or Mozilla Firefox 4.0 or later to browse the
Internet, or check for file and printer access on your network.
If you have trouble connecting to the module, try to connect without
security by selecting OPEN from the Security drop-down list on the
Edit Wireless Profiles screen for the profile that you are using (see
the figure on
page
9).
