The Smart Wizard guides you through installing your router, connecting your router to the Internet, configuring your wireless network settings, and selecting the optimum security protection for your network. If you choose not to select a security option during installation, you can always access the router's user interface later to select a security option (see "Accessing Your Router After Installation" on page 11). To ensure optimum performance of your high-speed wireless router, the wireless adapter card for each computer in your network should support the same technology as your router (see the online Reference Manual for more information). You are now connected to the Internet! To set up additional wireless computers in your network for router access and to connect to the Internet, see "Configuring Your Wireless Network" on page 21.
