How do you make linksys card associate?

Answer 1

In order to associate your linksys card or adapter one thing that you should know is the wireless settings of your router or gateway or access point. Check first the wireless settings of the router. Access the router's setup page.Go to Wireless Settings tab.Under Wireless Settings tab, go to Basic Wireless settings.Take note of the ff:

-wireless mode

-ssid

-wireless channel

-ssid broadcast (make sure it is always enable)

After that, go to Wireless Security subtab. Now, take note of the ff:

-Security mode (whether it is wep or wpa)

Now if it the security mode is WEP, take note of the ff:

-default transmit key

-wep encryption

-passphrase (if there is a passphrase, that means you use to generate keys)

-key 1

If it on WPA, take note of the ff:

-WPA algorithm

-WPA shared key

If you have already have the wireless settings, match these wireless settings to your linksys card or adapter.there are many ways on how to connect or associate the LInksys card. you can connect it using wireless zero configuration or wlan monitor.I'll tell you how to connect using wlan monitor.

Double click the wlan monitor icon on the taskbar. it is small square with wireless sign and green background.Go to "Site Survey" tab.Now look for your SSID.SSID is the one that you have on the linksys router.Click on your SSID and Click "Connect".It will gives you a screen that you need to fill up the security type,wireless key, passphrase and key. You have already all the info of the router/gateway/access point.What you're going to do is to fill up the info on that screen and after that click "connect".You should be able to see this : "You are successfully connected to the access point and the internet"
