6.4.2 Connecting PCs via Wireless (Models 328W10, 328W11)
IMPORTANT: If you are connecting to the Router via a wireless network adapter, the SSID must be the same for
both the Router and your PC’s wireless network adapter. The default SSID for the Router is the serial number of the
unit (located below the bar code on the bottom of the unit and also on the Westell shipping carton). Locate and run
the utility software provided with your PC’s Wireless network adapter and enter the SSID value. The PC’s wireless
network adapter must be configured with the SSID (in order to communicate with the Router) before you begin the
account setup and configuration procedures. Later, for privacy you can change the SSID by following the
procedures outlined in section 13.4 (Wireless Configuration).
IMPORTANT: Client PCs can use any Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) 802.11b/g/g+ certified card to communicate with
the Router. The Wireless card and Router must use the same security code type. If you use WPA-PSK or WEP
wireless security, you must configure your computer’s wireless adapter for the security code that you use.
You can access the settings in the advanced properties of the wireless network adapter.
