Make sure that:
The SpeedTouch™ is powered on and ready for service.
The SpeedTouch™ has been configured as DHCP server (default).
The wireless client adapters have been installed on all computers you want to
connect to the WLAN.
Depending on the personalised wireless settings:
Make sure to use the same encryption or security level on the client as on your
SpeedTouch™. If for instance WPA-PSK is enabled on the SpeedTouch™, you
must also configure the wireless client to use WPA-PSK and configure the same
WPA-PSK passphrase.
In case the Network Name (SSID) is not broadcasted, you must configure the
wireless client for the SpeedTouch™ Network Name. Refer to the
documentation of your wireless client for more information.
Depending on the ACL settings:
In case New stations are allowed (automatically), your device will be
able to access the SpeedTouch™ WLAN.
In case New stations are allowed (via registration), you will need to
register.
In case New stations are not allowed, you will not be able to access the
SpeedTouch™.
You can add a wireless client to the ACL as follows:
Go to the SpeedTouch™ web pages.
1
In the menu select Home Network > Devices.
2
Under Pick a task..., click Search for wireless devices.
3
The SpeedTouch™ searches for new wireless stations that use the encryption
4
key of the SpeedTouch™ Access Point.
The SpeedTouch™ takes you to the Home Network. The new station will be
5
shown next to the name of the SpeedTouch™ WLAN.
Click the name of the new station.
6
Click Configure.
7
Select Allowed on WLAN and click Apply.
8
Now the device is added to the ACL and will always be allowed to connect to
9
the SpeedTouch™.
