6. Set the operating mode. Select the wireless operating mode you want. The default is Auto 108

Mbps. You can change this to b only, g only, or 802.11b/g mixed.

7. For initial configuration and test, leave the security setting as set when you installed the WiFi

range extender. Once your computers have basic wireless connectivity, you can configure the

advanced wireless security functions, as described in “Configuring Advanced Wireless

Settings” on page 2-7.

8. Click Apply to save your changes.

9. Configure and test your computers for wireless connectivity.

Program the wireless adapter of your computers to have the same SSID and channel that you

configured in the WPN824EXT. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an

IP address by DHCP from the WPN824EXT.

Selecting a Wireless Security Option

To select a wireless security option:

1. Log in to the WiFi range extender (see “Logging In” on page 1-5).

2. Select Wireless Settings in the main menu.

3. Select a security type. If the information is required, Passphrase, Authentication Type,

Encryption Strength, or Security Encryption (WEP) Key fields appear after you select a

security type, as described in Table 2-1 on page 2-6.

Note: If you are configuring the WPN824EXT from a wireless computer and you

change the WPN824EXT’s SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose

your wireless connection when you click on Apply. You must then change the

wireless settings of your computer to match the WPN824EXT’s new settings.

Note: For more information on wireless security, click the link to the online

document “Wireless Networking Basics” in Appendix B, or the WiFi range

extender help screens.
