Set Access Point
The steps for setting up a wireless router access point vary based on the wireless router being using, but this serves as a rough guide for installation. These steps were run
- Press the reset button on the wireless router to reset it and connect it to any computer. It's possible to do this setup with an XO or any other machine with linux installed.
- Open terminal and type
ifconfig eth0 IPaddress
Where IPaddress is default IP for the access point
- Connect to the access point by typing in the IP address in a web browser.
- Login to the access point using the default password (or skip entering a password if none is provided)
- Set the channel to 1, 6 or 11
- Set a unique name for the network
- Make sure that the access point is NOT running as a DHCP server
