5. Click Apply to save any changes.
6. Under the Configuration tab, select Security from the main menu, and then select your
network Security Profile settings, either Security Profile settings 11b/bg/ng or Security Profile
settings 11a/na. For initial configuration and testing, the Security Profile Settings for Profile 1
(the default profile) are set to Open System and the SSID for 11a/na set to NETGEAR_11a
and the SSID for 11b/bg/ng set to NETGEAR_11g (see
page 32 to configure a profile).
Note: The SSID of any station must match the SSID you configured in the
WNDAP350 wireless access point. If they do not match, you will not get
a wireless connection to the WNDAP350.
7. Click Apply to save any changes.
Note: If you are configuring the WNDAP350 from a wireless computer and you
change the SSID, channel, or Security Profile settings, you will lose your
wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then change the
wireless settings of your computer to match the new settings.
8. Configure and test your PCs for wireless connectivity.
Program the wireless adapter of your PCs to have the same SSID that you configured in
the WNDAP350. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP
address by DHCP from the WNDAP350.
Once your PCs have basic wireless connectivity to the WNDAP350, you can configure the
advanced wireless security functions.
