Windows XP Wireless Network Configuration

With the standardization of the network, the combination of various technologies is also very dull, so we will give you a detailed description of the specific configuration of wireless network devices.

To standardize the development of WPAN technology, IEEE has set up the 802.15 Working Group. The working group is developing the WPAN standard based on the 1.0 Bluetooth specification. The draft standard aims at low complexity, low energy consumption, strong interactivity, and 802.11 Network compatibility.

Wireless Network Configuration

The above is an overview of wireless networks. The wireless network function of Win XP is unprecedentedly powerful. How can we configure wireless networks in Win XP?

1. open "network connection" to open "network connection", click "start", point to "Settings", double-click "Control Panel", and click "network and Internet connections ", click "network connection ").
2. Right-click "wireless network connection" and click "properties ".
3. On the "wireless network" tab, perform any of the following operations:
* To enable automatic wireless network configuration, select the "configure my wireless network settings in Windows" check box. By default, this check box is selected.
* To disable automatic wireless network configuration, clear the "configure my wireless network settings in Windows" check box.
4. to connect to an existing wireless network, Perform one of the following operations:

* Access Point basics)

To connect to the existing Access Point Base) network, click the network name under "available network" and then click "Configure ".
In "Wireless Network Properties", specify the wireless network key (WEP) settings, or if you have automatically provided the network key for you, for example, the key is stored on the wireless network adapter provided by the Administrator.) Select the "automatically provide key for me" check box. If you are not sure whether you need a network key or which network key to enter, contact your network administrator or the manufacturer of the wireless network adapter. Note that if the network does not broadcast its network name, it will not appear under "available network. To connect to a network that you know is available but does not appear under "available network"), click "add" under "preferred network ". Under "Wireless Network Properties", specify the Network Name Service Set Identifier. If necessary, specify the wireless network key settings.

* Computers to computers)

To connect an existing computer to a computer-specific network, click the network name under "available network" and then click "Configure ".
Specify the wireless network key (WEP) settings in "Wireless Network Properties", or if a network key is automatically provided for you, for example, the key is stored on the wireless network adapter that the administrator gives you ), select the "automatically provide key for me" check box. If you are not sure whether a key is required or which network key is required, contact your network administrator or the wireless network adapter manufacturer.
If you want to connect to a computer, especially a network, and the computer to the computer network and access point base) the network is within the scope of your computer, click "advanced ", click "computer to computer-specific network only ".
5. to configure a new wireless network connection, click "add" and then perform the following operations:
* Under "Wireless Network Properties", specify the Network Name Service Set Identifier. If necessary, specify the wireless network key settings.
* If the network connection being configured is to connect the computer to the computer, select "this is the computer to the computer". Therefore, do not use the Wireless Access Point check box.
6. to change the order of connection attempts to access the preferred network, under "preferred network", click the wireless network to be moved to the new location in the list, and then click "Move Up" or "Move Down ".
7. To change the wireless network connection settings listed in a "preferred network", click the wireless network for which you want to change the settings, click "properties", and then change the settings as needed.
8. to delete a wireless network from the preferred network list, click the wireless network to be deleted under "preferred network", and then click "delete ".
9. to update the list of available networks on your computer, click "refresh ".
10. To automatically connect to an available network that does not appear in the "preferred network" list, click "advanced" and select the "automatically connect to a non-preferred network" check box.

Note the following points in Configuration:

1. When you enable automatic wireless network configuration, you can connect to an existing wireless network, change the wireless network connection settings, configure new wireless network connections, and specify the preferred wireless network. When the new network is available, you will receive a notification. After you select a wireless network, your wireless network adapter is automatically configured to match the network settings and will try to connect to the network.
2. to configure settings on the "wireless network" tab, you must log on as an administrator, and must I use a wireless network that supports "Wireless Zero Configuration? No Wireless Configuration "service, please contact your network administrator or wireless network adapter manufacturer.
3. If you are using a third-party wireless network software, clear the "configure my wireless network settings in Windows" check box.
4. If you cannot connect to an existing wireless network and the name of the network you want to connect to appears in the "preferred network" list, click the preferred network name and then click "properties ". In "Wireless Network Properties", check the settings and make sure they are correct. If you are not sure whether the settings are correct, contact your network administrator or the wireless network adapter manufacturer.
5. if the "preferred network" list contains both the Access Point Base) and the computer to the computer, you cannot move the computer to the computer network in the list to a location higher than the Access Point Network.
6. To enhance the security of 802.11 Wireless and wired Ethernet networks, enable IEEE 802.1x authentication by default.
