-<h3>How do I add a new wireless client to my network?</h3>
-
-<p class="clsNote"><a href="javascript:print();">Print this page</a></p>
-
-<p>When you add a new wireless client to an existing network, there are certain
-pieces of information you need to have. The router may provide some of this
-information to the client automatically, but if it doesn’t, you
-will have to enter it yourself.</p>
-
-<p>When you install a wireless adapter in a computer running Windows,
-it usually comes with a utility that is installed on the computer and
-displays an icon in the taskbar’s notification area.
-Windows XP also provides its own mechanism for managing wireless adapters.
-One thing all wireless devices have in common is that they have some way to
-configure the wireless connection.</p>
-
-<p>Although there are many different wireless devices, they use almost identical
-terms for the information they require to establish a wireless connection.</p>

- <!-- MAC filtering on? -->
- <p id="idMACallow1" style="display: none;">MAC filtering is allowing only specified devices.</p>
- <p id="idMACdeny1" style="display: none;">MAC filtering is denying only specified devices.</p>
-</div>
-
-
-<h3>1. Network name (SSID)</h3>
-
-<p>The first thing a wireless client needs to know is the network name or SSID,
-which is set on the router.</p>
-
-<p>The network name of this router is <span class="clsHighlight"><%ejGetWlHTML(wlSsid)%></span>.</p>
-
-<!-- SSID BROADCAST? -->
-<p id="idSSIDbon" style="display: none;">Since the router is broadcasting its network name,
-you don’t have to enter it into the wireless device’s utility.
-You should be able to perform a “site survey” or “scan” and the
-utility will indicate that it’s found the router’s network name.</p>
-<p id="idSSIDboff" style="display: none;">The router is not broadcasting its network name,
-so you will need to enter it into the wireless device’s utility. Most utilities
-are different, but there is usually a mechanism for creating a “profile”
-and entering the necessary information.</p>
-
-
-<h3>2. Security</h3>
-
-<p>In order for a wireless client to communicate with a router using security,
-it must use the same method.
-Security for wireless communication consists of an authentication method (which controls
-which devices can connect to the router) and an encryption method (which prevents someone from
-“reading” the data being sent between a wireless client and the router.</p>
-
-<!-- Display appropriate security paragraph -->
-<!-- No security -->
- <p id="idAuthNone" style="display: none;">The router is insecure, so the client device may already be able to connect to it.</p>
-<!-- WEP -->
- <p id="idAuthWEP" style="display: none;">
- The router’s authentication method is <span class="clsHighlight">
- <script type="text/javascript">
- document.write(getSecurityMethod("<%ejGetWlJS(wlAuthMode)%>", "<%ejGetWlJS(wlWep)%>"));
- </script>
- </span>.
- The encryption method is <span class="clsHighlight">WEP</span> and
- the encryption key is <span class="clsHighlight">
- <script type="text/javascript">
- document.write(getWEPkey("<%ejGetWlJS(wlKeyIndex)%>", "<%ejGetWlJS(wlKey1)%>", "<%ejGetWlJS(wlKey2)%>", "<%ejGetWlJS(wlKey3)%>", "<%ejGetWlJS(wlKey4)%>") + "<\/span>.");
- </script>
- You may also need to select the type of encryption key, which is <span class="clsHighlight">
- <script type="text/javascript">
- document.write(getWEPkeyType(getWEPkey("<%ejGetWlJS(wlKeyIndex)%>", "<%ejGetWlJS(wlKey1)%>", "<%ejGetWlJS(wlKey2)%>", "<%ejGetWlJS(wlKey3)%>", "<%ejGetWlJS(wlKey4)%>")) + "<\/span>.<\/p>");
- </script>
-<!-- WPA PSK -->
- <p id="idAuthWPA" style="display: none;">
- The router’s authentication method is <span class="clsHighlight">
- <script type="text/javascript">
- document.write(getSecurityMethod("<%ejGetWlJS(wlAuthMode)%>", "<%ejGetWlJS(wlWep)%>") + "<\/span>,");
- </script>
- the encryption method is <span class="clsHighlight">
- <script type="text/javascript">
- document.write(getEncryption("<%ejGetWlJS(wlWpa)%>") + "<\/span>,");
- </script>
- and the encryption key is <span class="clsHighlight"><%ejGetWlHTML(wlWpaPsk)%></span>.</p>
-<!-- 802.1X/RADIUS -->
- <p id="idAuthRADIUS" style="display: none;">
- The router’s authentication method is <span class="clsHighlight">
- <script type="text/javascript">
- document.write(getSecurityMethod("<%ejGetWlJS(wlAuthMode)%>", "<%ejGetWlJS(wlWep)%>") + "<\/span>;");
- </script>
- the RADIUS server is <span class="clsHighlight"><%ejGetWlHTML(wlRadiusServerIP)%></span>;
- the RADIUS port is <span class="clsHighlight"><%ejGetWlHTML(wlRadiusPort)%></span>;
- the RADIUS key is <span class="clsHighlight"><%ejGetWlHTML(wlRadiusKey)%></span>.</p>

-<!-- Only display this section if MAC filtering is enabled -->
-<div id="idMACfiltering" style="display: none;">
-<h3>3. MAC Filtering</h3>
-
- <!-- MAC filtering on? -->
- <div id="idMACallow2" style="display: none;">
- <p>Since this router has MAC filtering enabled and is allowing only certain
- wireless devices to connect, you need to ensure that the client device’s
- MAC address is permitted to connect to the router.</p>
- <p>One way to do this is to turn off MAC filtering and configure the client
- device to connect to the router. After that’s completed, you can use
- the router’s <strong>Allow Current Clients</strong> feature to
- automatically add the new client to the list of allowed devices and re-enable MAC filtering.</p>
- </div>
- <p id="idMACdeny2" style="display: none;">
- Since this router has MAC filtering enabled and is denying certain wireless
- devices the ability to connect, you need to ensure that the client device’s
- MAC address is not in the list of devices to be denied.</p>
-
-<p>A MAC address is a set of six bytes typically separated by colons or dashes or spaces.
-(A byte consists of two hexadecimal digits—0-9 and A-F.)
-For example: “<label>00:C0:49:AA:22:43</label>.”</p>
-
-<p>These are some ways you may be able to determine the client device’s MAC address:
-<ul>
- <li>The MAC address is typically displayed on the device itself or on the device’s packaging.</li>
- <li>If the device is running Windows XP, 2000, or NT and you’re familiar with the command prompt,
- you can use the “ipconfig /all” command to display the MAC address.</li>
- <li>If the device is running Windows Me, 98, or 95 and you’re familiar with the command prompt,
- you can use the “winipcfg” command to display the MAC address.</li>
- <li>The device’s wireless configuration utility typically displays the MAC address somewhere.</li>
-</ul>
-</p>
-
-<p>You can configure MAC filtering on the <a href="wlmacflt.cmd">Security</a> page.</p>
-</div>
-
-<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
-
-<p>If a wireless device cannot connect, the wrong encryption method may be
-selected or the key may be entered incorrectly.
-Double-check the device’s wireless configuration utility to ensure
-you’ve entered everything correctly.
-Make sure the wireless device has “Infrastructure” selected as the network type.
-</p>
-
-<p>You should also make certain that the router and client device are positioned so that their
-transmissions can reach each other.
-If possible, try to configure them when they are positioned next to each other.</p>
