Setting up your wireless network When you buy your access point, make sure it has: ■ IEEE 802.11g support. 802.11g is the fastest method for wireless communications. 802.11g is compatible with the older IEEE 802.11b format but not with the competing IEEE 802.11a format. Make sure that you get the correct format that matches your computer's wireless network card. ■ DHCP server/dynamic IP address assignment capability that makes it easier to set up and access your network. ■ Internet security features like a firewall to keep intruders out of your network. ■ Wireless security features like SecureEasySetup™ or 128-bit WEP encryption.
