Wireless Configuration

4-5

This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to 
change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby 
wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless 
networks within several hundred feet of your firewall. For more information on the wireless 
channel frequencies please refer to 

6.

For initial configuration and test, leave the Wireless Card Access List set to “Everyone” and 
the Encryption Strength set to “Disabled.” 

7.

Click Apply to save your changes.

8.

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 firewall.

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

The DG824M Wireless ADSL Modem Gateway provides several ways to restrict wireless access 
to your network:

•

Turn off wireless connectivity completely

•

Restrict access based on the Wireless Network Name (SSID)

•

Restrict access based on the Wireless Card Access List

These options are discussed below.

If you are configuring the firewall from a wireless PC and you change the 

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