Wireless Configuration on Windows XP

If using Windows XP to configure the Wireless interface on your PC, the configuration proce-
dure is as follows:
1. Open the Network Connections folder. (Start - Settings - Network Connections).
2. Right-click the Wireless Network Connection, check that it is enabled (menu option says
Disable, rather than Enable) and then select View Available Wireless Networks.
3. You will then see a list of wireless networks.
The mode must be set to Infrastructure (rather than Ad-hoc)
Access points only operate in Infrastructure mode.
This must match the value used on the Wireless ADSL Router. The
default value is Wireless.
Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
By default, Wireless security on the Wireless ADSL Router is disabled.
•
If Wireless security remains disabled on the Wireless ADSL Router,
all stations must have wireless security disabled.
•
If Wireless security is enabled on the Wireless Router (either WEP
or WPA-PSK), each station must use the same settings as the Wire-
less ADLS Router.
