Windows XP: Running the Wireless Network Setup Wizard

Windows XP Service Pack 2 has a lot of nifty new features, and one of the best is the wizard that helps you configure your wireless network. You need a USB flash drive or a USB flash card reader, and a free USB port on every computer attached to the wireless network.

If your wireless broadband router, wireless access point, or other wireless base station has a USB port and it supports Windows Smart Network Key, you're in luck: The wizard can configure your entire network in a matter of minutes. If your router doesn't support WSNK, not to worry ? entering the requisite codes by hand is pretty easy.
Setting up the network

Here's how to get your wireless network secure:

1. Choose Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Wireless Network Setup Wizard.

The wizard shows its splash screen.

2. Click Next.

The wizard asks you to type in a name for your network. Dummies::Windows XP Timesaving Technique: Running the Wireless Network Setup Wizard
