How To Set Up Wireless Network At Work

Need to know how to set up wireless network at work?  This article will help you do just that.  Just a couple simple steps and you will be connected.  Usually a network administrator will set up the wireless network and all you need is the wireless network password to sign the computer on the wireless network.

1. Wireless router.  First you will want to connect the wired ethernet hub or wired modem to a wireless router.  You can get a wireless router for a reasonable price.  Next you will want to connect a computer by ethernet connection to the wireless router to set up the wireless network.  This will allow you to name the wireless network and assign a password to it as well.  The set up is quiet easy.  The wireless router comes with an install CD/DVD that has an install wizard that is self-explanatory. Once you have set up the router the next thing to do is set up other computers to the wireless network. 
2. Wireless adapter.  Some computers already have a wireless network card in them.  Other do not but you can purchase a good wireless internet card at a reasonable price.  Before you purchase the wireless adapter you will want to make sure it is compatible with the wireless router.  Usually it has to be the same brand as the wireless router.  But the most important part of the compatibility is if it is 802.11a, 802.11b or 802.11g.  The last one is the most recent networking signal strength used, just make sure the adapter and router match. 
3. Security.  For security reasons you will want to hold on to the wireless network password and give it to the computers that are authorized to use the wireless network.  Be careful when sharing the password with others.  The best thing to do is enter in the password yourself instead of giving it out to the public.
