Configure and test your PCs for wireless connectivity.

Program the wireless adapter of your PCs to have the same SSID and channel that you 
configured in the router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP 
address by DHCP from the router.

Once your PCs have basic wireless connectivity to the router, then you can configure the advanced 
wireless security functions of the router.

WGU624 wireless router.

If you are configuring the router from a wireless PC and you change the router’s 

SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you 
click Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of your PC to match the 
router’s new settings.

When configuring the router from a wireless PC whose MAC address is not in the 

Trusted PC list, if you select Turn Access Control On, you will lose your wireless 
connection when you click on Apply. You must then access the wireless router from a 
wired PC or from a wireless PC which is on the access control list to make any further 
changes.
