Before you set up wireless security and additional wireless featu

configure the 802.11b , 11/jointfilesconvert/31316/bg, or 11ng wireless settings as described in Chapter 2, Installation

and Basic Configuration. The wireless access point should work with an Ethernet LAN

connection, and wireless connectivity should have bee

n verified before you set up wireless

security and additional wireless features. In planning your wireless network, consider the

level of security required.

WARNING!

If you are configuring the wireless access point from a wireless

computer and you change the wireless access point’s SSID,

channel, or wireless security settings, you will lose your wireless

connection when you click Apply. You must then change the

wireless settings of your computer to match the wireless access

point’s new settings.

Wireless Data Security Options

Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11n wireless networks at a maximum range of

300 feet. Typically, a wireless access point inside a bu

ilding works best with devices within a

100 foot radius. Such distances can allow for others outside your immediate area to access

your network.
