Diagram of the wireless Nic configuration of a Wireless Broadband Router (1)

The configuration of the wireless network card also has many configuration problems during use. The following describes the configuration process of the wireless network card in detail, with illustrations, clear and clear.

After installing the driver for the USB wireless network card, right-click "Network Neighbor" and select "properties". In addition to the existing desktop connection icon to the Internet, you can see the connection icon (I am using the ADSL connection) in addition, a "Local Connection" icon is added.

Local Connection

This is a wireless connection. Right-click "Local Connection", select "properties", click "Configure" on the properties page, and select the "advanced" menu bar. This is where we need to configure parameters. Channel-select "11" in the box on the right, that is, Channel 11.

Channel configuration parameters

WEP (link Encryption)-click "Encryption Level" and select "None" to disable Encryption.

WEPl configuration parameters

ESSID (service area authentication ID)-click "ESSID" and enter "YANG01" on the right side. You can also set it to another name.

ESSID configuration parameters

Operation Mode-click "Operating Mode" and select "Infrastructure" on the right of the window ".

Operation Mode configuration parameters

"Ad-Hoc" is a point-to-point connection without an AP, which is equivalent to a peering connection with a wired network, while "Infrastructure" is a wireless network mode with an AP. Here we use AP access, so select the "Infrastructure" peer-to-peer mode. You can use the default settings for other settings. Click "OK" to complete the settings of the wireless network card. The setting method in Windows XP is similar to that in Windows 2000, and is omitted here.

After completing the preceding steps, you only set the network interface parameters. We know that most of the network data communication is based on the TCP/IP protocol, so we also need to set the IP address of the computer for smooth communication.
