Getting Started Wireless Client Requirements 1 To connect to the access point, wireless clients need the software and hardware described in Table 2. Table 2 Requirements for Wireless Clients Required Component Description Wi-Fi Client Adapter Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point. (IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n modes are supported.) Wireless Client Software Client software, such as Microsoft Windows Supplicant, configured to associate with the access point. Client Security Settings Security should be disabled on the client used to do initial configuration of the access point. If the Security mode on the access point is set to anything other than plain text, wireless clients must have a profile set to the same authentication mode used by the access point and provide a valid username and password, certificate, or user identity required by the authentication server. Security modes are Static WEP, IEEE 802.1X, WPA with RADIUS server, and WPAPSK. For information about configuring security on the access point, see Configuring the Wireless Distribution System, page 91. Cisco AP 541N Dual-band Single-radio Access Point Quick Start Guide 22
