Configuring a Wireless Client

Objective 
•  Install and configure a driver for a wireless USB NIC for a wireless client computer. 
•  Determine the version of the driver installed and check the Internet for updates. 

Background / Preparation  
In this lab you will install a driver for a wireless USB NIC in a computer. The driver is a type of software that 
controls the wireless NIC. The driver comes on a CD with the NIC or can be downloaded from the Internet. 
Many manufacturers require that the driver is installed before the adapter is connected. The procedure 
described in this lab is for a Linksys USB 802.11g wireless NIC, but is similar to others. You should always 
follow the procedure recommended by the wireless NIC manufacturer.  
The following resources are required: 
•  Windows XP-based computer with an available USB port 
•  Wireless USB NIC and associated driver 
•  Administrator rights to install the driver 
•  Linksys WRT300N with wireless access configured from previous lab  

Step 1: Install the wireless NIC driver 
a.  Insert the CD that contains the wireless NIC driver into the CD/DVD drive and install the driver 
according to the manufacturer recommendations. Most USB devices require that the driver be 
installed before the device is physically attached. Note that you may do part of the installation process 
now and part of it after the wireless NIC is installed. 


b.  Who is the manufacturer of the wireless NIC?
c.  Describe how you installed the wireless NIC driver.


Step 2: Install the wireless NIC 
a.  When prompted, connect the USB NIC cable to an available USB port. Click Next to continue.



Step 3: Attach to the wireless network 
a.  Most wireless NIC adapters have client software to control the NIC. The software shows any wireless 
networks that are discovered. Select the SSID of the wireless network that you configured on the AP 
in a previous lab.  


b.  Which SSID are you using? 
c.  If the wireless NIC did not connect to the wireless network, perform the appropriate troubleshooting.  
d.  What is the signal strength for the wireless NIC?
e.  Did the wireless NIC see any other wireless networks in the area? _______ Why or why not? 
f.  Show your active wireless connection to a fellow student or the lab assistant.  
g.  What is another name for a wireless host?
h.  Is it better to use the client software from the wireless NIC manufacturer or let Windows XP control 
the wireless NIC?


Step 4: Determine the NIC driver version  
a.  Hardware manufacturers continually update drivers. The driver that ships with a NIC or other piece of 
hardware is frequently not the most current. 
b.  To check the driver version for the NIC you installed, click Start, select Control Panel and then 
Network Connections. Right-click on the wireless connection and select Properties. Click the 
Configure button for the NIC and then the Driver tab. What is the name and version of the driver you 
installed? 



Step 5: Determine if the NIC driver is the most current 
a.  Search the NIC manufacturer web site for drivers that support the wirelss NIC you installed. Are  
there more current ones available? 
b.  What is the most current one listed? 
c.  If there is a more current driver, how would you apply it?  


Step 6: Verify connectivity 
a.  Once you have installed the NIC, it is time to verify connectivity with the Linksys WRT300N.  
b.  Open a web browser such as Windows Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. 
c.  In the address line type http://192.168.1.1, which is the default setting on the AP. 
d.  In the Connect to 192.168.1.1 dialog box, leave the username text box empty, and type admin in the 
password text box. Leave the Remember my password checkbox unchecked. Click OK


e.  If you receive the Linksys Setup screen, you have established connectivity with the AP. If you do not 
establish connectivity, you will have to troubleshoot the connection by checking to ensure the devices 
are turned on and the IP addresses on all devices are correct. Which IP address should be 
configured on the wireless NIC?
