Cut the cords with a Wi-Fi network

Step 8:

Configure, part 2



Enter the SSID and the encryption passphrase into each system that you want to connect to your network.

Enter the SSID and the encryption passphrase into each system that you want to connect to your network.

If you've followed our instructions faithfully, your wireless systems will now be unable to connect to the router. To reestablish the connection, change the SSID within the wireless-configuration utility for each wireless adapter to match the value you entered for the router. You'll also need to enable the same type of encryption you enabled in the router and provide exactly the same passphrase. After you apply the changes to each system, it should connect to the router and the Internet.
