The specific or please look at the instructions, this kind of content specification generally speak more clearly.

Under Vista system, setting IP address needs to start menu → control Panel → network and internet→ view network status and tasks → manage network connection → Local connection → Right click "Properties" →internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IP V4) → properties → selection " Use the IP address below to enter IP address 192.168.1.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1, enter the IP of the local DNS server in the lower DNS server, or use the 192.168.1.1 address.

第3-5 minutes: Set the wireless connection portion of the router, the security settings are important

This step will be to complete the wireless router in the security, connection settings, is the most important. This step of the different routers may not be the same, but the approximate principle is similar.

　　Step 01

Enter the "Network Settings" in the basic settings, which have wireless network settings. The following points are noted:

Here you can set an SSID is the name of the access point, you can set, but it is best not to use special characters, please use 26 letters and numbers. It is recommended that you hide the SSID, which is to prohibit "SSID broadcasts."

Set wireless mode, you can limit the support of 802.11G or 802.11b or mix, generally choose the default value is "mixed" can be.

Some third-party firmware or SET options rich routers can set wireless mode for AP or Network bridge, etc., here set to "Wireless access point AP" can be.

2, if the Internet client more fixed, that is, a few fixed notebook use this wireless LAN, you can also limit the MAC address to get better security. Restricting MAC addresses can be set in wireless filtering, where specific MAC addresses are added and set to allow only these MAC addresses to access the wireless network.
