3.2 Additional Settings for Wireless Client
If you chose to access the router via a wireless client, also verify the following:
Step 1:
Make sure your PC is equipped with 802.11g or 802.11b wireless adapter and has appropriate WLAN
card driver/utility and TCP/IP installed.
Step 2:
Set the wireless adapter to use appropriate TCP/IP settings as described in previous section.
Step 3:
Launch the wireless adapter’s provided utility and verify that your wireless client is configured with
these settings:
±
Operation Mode: Infrastructure
±
SSID: default
±
Authentication: Disabled
±
Encryption: Off
±
Radio Band: 802.11B/G
If you only finished the wireless settings and didn’t configure the wireless adapter’s TCP/IP
settings, even your link status indicates a successful connection with the AP. This
connection applies to the “physical” network layer only. Your wireless adapter cannot
communicate with the AP. Make sure to set the TCP/IP properties as described in this
previous section.

browser e.g., MS Internet Explorer or Netscape).

2. Enter WRT-416 IP address (default IP address is
) into the address field of the web
browser. Please also make sure your PC’s IP address is in the same IP range with WRT-416.

The User Name and Password are “guest” by default. Click “OK” the management page.

After you have finished the initial configuration of the router, your connection will be secure and you can
safely use either a wired or wireless connection.
On every page of the Wireless Router, the left navigation bar shows the main options to configure the
system. In the right navigation screen is the summary of system status for viewing the configurations.
You can usually get context sensitive help by clicking on the Help link at the top right of the page.
