Setting up your notebook

Important
Each computer on
your network needs a
unique Computer
Name. All the
computers on your
network need the
same Workgroup
Name. You may have
already named your
computer and
workgroup the first
time you turned on
your notebook.
The wizard will have you press the
SecureEasySetup button on the front of your
access point and click the SecureEasySetup
button in the Wizard. The software automatically
configures your access point and sets up a
secure wireless connection.
