Using the Setup Wizard

Networking Wireless Base Station. The procedures described in the Typical Setup 
section of this chapter will help you set up your base station by using the wizard on the

configures a variety of Internet and wireless network settings.

O

A computer that has an Ethernet port and is running Microsoft Windows

®

 XP, 

Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98, or Windows 98 SE operating system.
