Weak current College】 【wireless LAN router configuration method.

<br> Wireless LAN development up to now has been very sound, speed and more quickly. Current mainstream products not only meet ordinary wired Ethernet speeds, and security also has access to basic protection. More important is the wireless network instead of wiring, so .consumption of home users, it is the best choice for networking programme. Plus Centrino laptop popularity, so for most users, purchase the wireless router is also a matter of time. <br> <br> But as the popularity of wireless router, the .problem is growing. Which wireless router bought after what configuration is most concerned about. In fact, configure your wireless network is not complicated, configure your wireless router and configure wired router steps almost, but some places need to watch out for a few minutes you .can easily get. <br> <br> First, put in place to <br> Get the wireless router, the first thing to do is display problems. Wireless router is the signal of a wired network into a wireless signal, it is the .core of the entire wireless network and therefore its position determines the entire wireless network signal strength and transfer rate. Therefore it is recommended that you choose an easily blocked, and the signal can cover all corners of the House. <br> The wireless router's position .should be relatively high. Wireless transmission of the signal is linear, each encounter an obstruction, wireless signal will be weakened part, especially the metal object, a wireless signal of killer. <br> Wireless router should try to live in the center of the .room. Because wireless AP coverage is a circular region, so that only the wireless access point in the middle of the room in order to guarantee the room each location can receive a wireless signal, thereby effectively access the wireless network. Wireless network that automatically adjusts .the transmission rate to adapt to complex network environments. The closer the wireless AP and the wireless signal becomes stronger, the smaller the interference, the data transfer rate is higher. <br> Do not go through too many walls, especially in the casting of .reinforced concrete wall. Experiments show that in 10 m distance in the wireless signal through a brick wall, 2 can still be achieved nominal maximum transfer rate, but then pass through a floor, the transfer rate is only 50% of the nominal rate. Visible ., reinforced concrete wall on the wireless signal has a serious impact. <br> <br> Second, the configuration you want to carefully <br> Find the right position display finished, then there is a configuration problem. Each line with TCP / IP .protocol network device has its own IP address, the wireless router nature is no exception. General wireless router will have its own fixed LAN IP address, this design also facilitates our visit this IP address to configure and to the wireless router. Of course, different .brands of wireless router's IP address, you can reference its associated specific instruction manual. Also note that the wireless network card must match the wireless router is on the same IP network segments. <br> Next, open the browser, in the address bar, .enter the address of the wireless network node, such as after the viewing directions http://192.168.254.254/was informed that the wireless network node administrator password to be entered correctly you can enter the wireless network node management interface. For a new router .is not set too, have also set up the Wizard (SetupWizard). In countries such as the page named ConnectionConfiguration, we can select the type of broadband networks, select General, and viaPPPoverEthernet ADSL Cable or FTTB select viaDHCP. If your ISP requires you .to enter a user name and password, we can enter the appropriate location below and will Timeout set to 120s. Then we can move the wireless router ESSID default value set to WLAN, set is complete do not forget to click on the Save button to save .. <br> If the wireless router also need to connect 100/10M wired network as wired routers use, so we also need to make further settings. In such areas as IP / DHCP options following SystemIPConfiguration configuration interface, DHCP will be when one is .set to Enable, such as soon as a user of a wired network connection and wireless network adapter's TCP / IP properties are set to automatically obtain an IP address, you can get from wireless router with an IP address. As regards DNSIP addresses, we can .query the local ISP, generally do not set are also available. <br> <br> 3. adjust the client <br> The client configuration is the most important thing is to identify the ESSID, here must be guaranteed and the wireless router ESSID .values are identical (contains letter case). ESSID identifies as a wireless client and wireless router password together between, only in the exact same premise to make wireless network card to access a wireless router, this is the guarantee of wireless network security is one of .the important measures. Different wireless network adapter settings where ESSID identity, some are in Control Panel, some by NIC dedicated application, you can refer to the instruction manual. Generally the same brand of wireless router and the wireless card uses the same ESSID identifies the .default value, without setting to use, but for business users, this will cause some security risks, it is recommended that you replace the ESSID identification. <br> The wireless client's other configuration is very simple, in the past, annoying network settings can .all set aside. In Control Panel Network properties to open the wireless network adapter's TCP / IP properties, add a wireless network adapter's IP address is set to automatically obtain, or with a wireless network nodes in the same network segment. Now, if the wireless .network adapter and connect the wireless network node to normal, the laptop can properly online. If you are not a good connection, you need to check your network settings or adjust the location of the wireless network node. <br> To this end, the .installation process does not end. At this point while enabling broadband sharing capabilities, but non-Often unsafe. If your neighbor has installed a wireless network card, he would be over before you know it's your wireless local area network, or even use your broadband .to BT download. So, I would also like to be encrypted on the network. <br> <br> 4. the safety clearance <br> WEP encryption is 802.11 series wireless network, the most common encryption method. The author through IE browser .again log on to a wireless network node management interface, find the security option is selected, select the turn on WEP encryption function (usually a wireless network node factory settings are turned off this feature), and then enter a hexadecimal characters (characters must be .0 ~ 9 or af) as the encryption string (encryption string must be reminded that there is no way the lost after connecting to a wireless network node) to save the settings and restart wireless WEP network nodes (depending on the type of the encrypted string .of bits are also different. Usually a 64-bit encryption, you need to enter 10 digit string, 128-bit encryption needs input 26-digit strings). <br> <br> Reboot later, the wireless network adapter cannot communicate with the .wireless network connection. Now you need to modify the "wireless network connection properties". Select "network places" and "properties," and "wireless network connection properties", then select "wireless network configuration". In the available networks to find your .own wireless network node, if there is no other wireless network node, then it should list only one network, otherwise it will be near other wireless networks are also listed. <br> Next, first click the "Properties", "data encryption ( .WEP enabled) "this item to activate, and then in the following" network key "and" Confirm network key "bar is filled in with the earlier set of encrypted string, and then click on" OK ", the wireless network adapter to wireless .network nodes are connected correctly. <br> <br> 5. experience sharing <br> Typically, 802.11 series wireless networking products have good compatibility, most of the wireless network connection and wireless router there will be no compatibility issues. But for reasons of .stability, for demanding applications, I still recommend the use of the same brand of wireless router and wireless card. <br> <br> The load-bearing walls of reinforced concrete structures on the wireless signal has a strong impediment. Thus the structure of .the "penthouse" apartment and Villa class home environment for best signal coverage effect solution is configured for each layer the wireless router. In practice, indoor AP coverage may only to a maximum of 30 meters. <br> <br> 802.11b actual use .rate only a nominal value of 40%, the conversion of data transfer rate of about 600KB / s, if the setting is 64/128 bit WEP encryption, the transfer rate will be further reduced, therefore use more attention to interference problems, as far .as possible away from microwave ovens, cordless phones and Bluetooth devices. <br> <br> If you suddenly found a weak radio signal, without doing any physical changes. You can try to change the wireless channel or add an external antenna to solve. .<br> <br> WindowsXP built-in support for WLAN, plug, and settings are all very convenient. And Windows98, WindowsME, Windows2000 on wireless network stability and ease of use are not WindowsXP, occasionally there is a conflict. Therefore, if .the hardware configuration is high enough, it use WindowsXP systems. At the same time also need to clarify that previous Windows95 (including Windows95) operating system does not support Wi-Fi. <br> <br>.
