6. Select Wireless Settings under Advanced in the main menu of the WNR1000 router.

WMM check boxes are selected.

8. Click Setup Access List.

9. Make sure that the Turn Access Control On check box is not selected.

10. Configure and test your wireless computer for wireless connectivity.

Program the wireless adapter of your computer to have the same SSID and channel that you

and can obtain an IP address by DHCP from the router.

Once your computer has basic wireless connectivity to the router, you can configure the advanced
wireless security functions of the computer and router (for more information about security and
these settings, see

Chapter 2, “Safeguarding Your Network

”).
