Hp wireless network installation and configuration (1)

Detailed records include the determination of wireless network nodes of hp wireless networks, AP configuration, security points, and relevant areas for network construction. This article describes how to install and configure hp wireless networks. I hope it will be useful to you.

Determine wireless network nodes during installation and configuration of hp Wireless Networks

The first thing to do is to set up wireless network nodes. The function of a wireless network node is to convert a wired network signal into a wireless signal, which is the core of the entire wireless network. Its position determines the signal strength and transmission rate of the entire wireless network. We recommend that you select a location that is not easily blocked and the signal can cover all corners of the house.
 
For example, when setting up a Wireless AP, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

First, the location of the Wireless AP should be relatively high. Wireless signals are transmitted in a straight line. Every obstacle, wireless signals are weakened, especially metal objects, water, books, and trees.

Second, if indoors: Wireless AP should be in the center of the room as much as possible. Because the Wireless AP coverage is a circular area, only when the Wireless AP is placed in the center of the room can the wireless signal be received at every location in the room, so as to effectively access the wireless network. The wireless network can automatically adjust the transmission rate to adapt to complex network environments. The closer the AP is to the Wireless AP, the stronger the wireless signal, and the greater the anti-interference capability, the higher the transmission rate.

Third, do not wear too many walls, bookshelves, especially reinforced concrete walls. The experiment shows that, at a distance of 10 m, after a wireless signal passes through two brick walls, it can still reach the nominal highest transmission rate, but after passing through a layer of floor, the transfer rate will be half of the nominal rate. It can be seen that the Reinforced Concrete Wall greatly weakens the wireless signal. Of course, in our company's room structure, the AP signal can still meet the needs. You do not have to design placement. So I fixed the AP on the floor.

Configure the AP during installation and configuration of hp Wireless Network

After the AP driver is installed, you must first enter the AP's administrator password SSID. SSID is a required identifier for different wireless networks. It is mainly used to distinguish signals from different wireless networks to ensure that users can correctly connect to the correct wireless network. The SSID is freely specified by the Administrator. If you know the correct SSID of the wireless network, enter it directly. At the same time, you need to adjust the channel and frequency of the wireless network.
The IP address of the ap is 192.168.1.100, And the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. In the network properties, I set the IP address of the wireless network adapter of my laptop to 192.168.1.200 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, so that it is in the same network segment as the wireless network node. After the wireless network node is enabled, the wireless network adapter automatically searches for the wireless network node.

Generally, wireless network nodes that are not configured are not encrypted, and you may be prompted whether to connect to an insecure wireless network during connection. First confirm the connection, and then perform security encryption after the wireless LAN connection is successful. After a normal connection, the current signal strength is displayed in the network properties.

Next, open your browser and enter the address http: // 192.168.1.100/of the wireless network node in the address bar. Enter the correct password to go to the management interface of the wireless network node. Set advanced functions

Then, I connected the broadband access network cable to the wireless network node, and kept it within the same network segment as the wireless network node. Now, if the wireless network adapter can be connected to a wireless network node, the laptop can access the Internet normally. If the connection fails, check the network settings or adjust the location of the wireless network node.
At this point, the installation process is not complete. Although the wireless LAN implements the broadband sharing function, it is extremely insecure. If a wireless network adapter is installed in a neighbor near my house, I can intrude into my wireless LAN and even use my broadband to access the Internet. So I need to encrypt the network.
