Next Steps
To make sure the access point is connected to the LAN, bring up some
wireless clients and connect the clients to the network. After you have
tested the basics of your wireless network, you can enable more security
and fine-tune the setup by modifying advanced configuration features on
the access point.
Make Sure the
Access Point is
Connected to the
LAN
If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting
both into a network hub, then your access point is already connected to
the LAN. That’s it—you’re up and running! The next step is to test some
wireless clients.
If you configured the access point using a direct wired connection using a
crossover cable from your computer to the access point, do the following:
1. Disconnect the crossover cable from the computer and the access
point.
2. Connect a regular Ethernet cable from the access point to the LAN .
3. Connect your computer to the LAN either via an Ethernet cable or
wireless client card.
