Setting up your network and your Wireless-N Notebook Adapter is easier than ever. How does the Adapter do this? Like all wireless products, the Adapter allows for greater range and mobility within your wireless network, whether it’s using the Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B (802.11b) standard. But with Wireless-N, it has even better range and speed. But what does all of this mean? Networks are useful tools…

25 Chapter 5: Using the Wireless Network Monitor Create a New Profile Wireless-N Notebook Adapter 3. The Wireless Mode screen shows a choice of two wireless modes. Click the Infrastructure Mode radio button if you want to connect to a wireless router or access point. Click the Ad-Hoc Mode radio button if you want to connect to another wireless device directly without using a wireless router or access point. Enter the Wireless Network Name for your network. Infrastructure Mode - Use this mode if you want to connect to a wireless router or access point. Ad-Hoc Mode - Use this mode if you want to connect to another wireless device directly without using a wireless router or access point. Wireless Network Name - This is the wireless network name (SSID) that must be used for all the devices in your wireless network. It is case- sensitive and should be a unique name to help prevent others from entering your network. Click the Next button to continue, or click the Back button to return to the previous screen. 4. If you chose Infrastructure Mode, go to Step 5 now. If you chose Ad-Hoc Mode, the Ad-Hoc Mode Settings screen will appear. Network Mode - Select the Network Mode in which your wireless network will operate. In Mixed mode, Wireless-N, Wireless-B and Wireless-G devices can operate on the same network. In Wireless-G Only mode, no Wireless-B devices can operate in the network. Standard Channel - Select the correct channel for your wireless network. The channel you choose should match the channel set on the other devices in your wireless network. If you are unsure about which channel to use, keep the default setting Auto. Click the Next button. Click the Back button to change any settings.

If your wireless network doesn’t have wireless security, select Disabled and then click the Next button to continue. Proceed to Step 6. If your wireless network has wireless security, select the method of security used: WEP, PSK, PSK2, PSK+RADIUS, PSK2+RADIUS, or RADIUS. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. PSK is a stronger security method than WEP. PSK2 is a stronger security method than PSK. RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. Click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen. Proceed to the appropriate section for your security method: WEP, PSK, PSK2, PSK+RADIUS, PSK2+RADIUS, or RADIUS. WEP WEP - Select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption Passphrase - Enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so a WEP key is automatically generated. It is case- sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. This passphrase must match the passphrase of your other wireless network devices and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (If you have any non-Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually on those products.) WEP Key - The WEP key you enter must match the WEP key of your wireless network. For 64-bit encryption, enter exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. For 128-bit encryption, enter exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”. Advanced Users TX Key - The default transmit key number is 1. If your network’s access point or wireless router uses transmit key number 2, 3, or 4, select the appropriate number from the TX Key drop-down box. Authentication -The default is set to Auto, so it will auto-detect for Shared Key or Open System authentication. For Shared Key authentication, both the sender and the recipient share a WEP key for authentication. For Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do not share a WEP key for authentication. If you are not sure which authentication method to select, keep the default, Auto. Click the Next button to continue, or click the Back button to return to the previous screen. wep (wired equivalent privacy): a method of encrypting network data transmitted on a wireless network for greater security.

Select TKIP or AES for encryption. Then enter a Pre-shared Key that is 8-63 characters in length. Encryption - Select the type of algorithm you want to use, TKIP or AES, from the Encryption drop-down menu. Pre-shared Key - Enter a Pre-shared Key of 8-63 characters in the Pre-shared Key field. Click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen PSK2 Enter a Pre-shared Key that is 8-63 characters in length.

Figure 5-20: Wireless Security - PSK Figure 5-21: Wireless Security - PSK2 28 Chapter 5: Using the Wireless Network Monitor Create a New Profile Wireless-N Notebook Adapter PSK+RADIUS PSK+RADIUS features PSK security used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the Router.) PSK+RADIUS offers two authentication methods, EAP- TLS and PEAP, as well as two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Authentication - Select the authentication method your network is using, EAP-TLS or PEAP. EAP-TLS If you selected EAP-TLS, enter the login name of your wireless network in the Login Name field. Enter the name of the authentication server in the Server Name field (this is optional). From the Certificate drop-down menu, select the certificate you have installed to authenticate you on your wireless network. Select the type of…
