Wireless (Wi-Fi) Network Setup
The 2247-N8 Wi-Fi Gateway has a default network "name," or SSID (ser-
vice set identifier) that uses a unique 8-digit number in the format “xxxx
xxxx”. The 2247-N8 broadcasts this unique network name so that wire-
less computers and other devices can detect it.
With the 2247-N8 installed and on, use the following steps to add
devices to the wireless network.
TIP: Because your computer detects the strongest wireless networks
first, position it close (within 10 feet) to the 2247-N8, if you can, to ensure
that you are connecting to your 2247-N8.
1. Connect your primary computer to the 2247-N8 wireless network.
Click the wireless tray icon, open the wireless settings panel, or click
the AirPort menu (depending on your operating system).
2. Find the network ID for your 2247-N8 in the wireless networks list
and connect your computer to the network. If you have difficulty
connecting to the network, refer to the detailed instructions in
“Add-
ing Devices to the Wireless Network” on page 49.
