Illustration: the whole process of setting up a wireless LAN (1)

Recently, wireless networks are gaining momentum, and the slogan of popularizing wireless networks further occupies the market. The price of wireless product packages also drops, but it cannot be left blank when many friends encounter various problems when installing and configuring wireless networks. This article describes how to operate the wireless network card installed on the computer to connect to the Wireless Broadband Router and build your own wireless LAN.

In this article, the wireless router is selected TP-LINK domain? 54M Wireless Broadband Router TL-WR541G, wireless network card selection is TP-LINK area display/Speed Display wireless network card TL-WN510G/550G/610G/megag series products.

2. Meanings of parameters on the page:

SSID: a service set identifier used to identify wireless devices. A wireless router uses this parameter to identify itself, so that the wireless network card can distinguish different wireless routers to connect. This parameter is determined by the wireless router, not by the wireless network card. Think about it from another angle. For example, there are two wireless routers A and B around the wireless network card, they use ssid a and ssid B to identify themselves. At this time, the identifier of who is connected by the wireless network adapter is identified by the SSID. Here we use the default SSID is the TP-LINK, of course you can change this parameter according to your preferences, to a combination of easy-to-remember numbers or letters or both.

Channel: used to determine the frequency range of the network. The value ranges from 1 to 13. The default value is 6. This parameter only needs to be noted in the application: If your neighbor's house is deployed with a wireless network and the channel used is 6, in order to reduce the Wireless Interference between the two wireless routers, you can change this parameter to 1 or 13.

Mode: this parameter is used to set the working mode of the wireless router. Two options are available: 54 Mbps (802.11g) and 11 Mbps (802.11b ), we do not need to modify this parameter. The default value is OK. One thing you need to note is: Suppose you purchased our quick exhibition? M Wireless Broadband Router TL-WR641G, then in this parameter there will be two more options a total of four are 11 Mbps (802.11b), 54 Mbps (802.11g), 108 Mbps (Static) and 108 Mbps (Dynamic), there are two more Static memory m and Dynamic memory M, So when should we choose 108 Mbps (Static) and 108 Mbps (Dynamic? We can determine: if all the wireless network card models connected to WR641G are our fast-moving products? Memory M wireless network card TL-WN610G/650G, this time you can choose WR641G work in Static (Static) memory Mbps mode, in addition to other situations, all choose Dynamic (Dynamic) mbps or 54 Mbps (802.11g) mode.

Enable wireless: Enable and disable wireless functionality for the TL-WR541G.

Allow SSID broadcast: by default, wireless routers advertise the existence of the SSID to the surrounding space. In this case, you can find the existence of the wireless router. If you remove the hooks in the check box, that is, the Wireless Router does not broadcast the SSID. In this case, the wireless Nic cannot find the existence of the wireless router.

Above this is the TL-WR541G "Wireless Settings" in the default parameters, when the WR541G power, it will generate a wireless network around WR541G, the SSID identifier of this network is "TP-LINK", the MIIT is 6, the network is not encrypted. At this time, an unencrypted wireless network exists around WR541G and can be provided to a wireless network card for connection;
