To connect to the access point, wireless clients need the software and hardware
described in Table 2.
Table 2 Requirements for Wireless Clients
Required Component Description
Wi-Fi Client Adapter Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports
one or more of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you
plan to run the access point. (IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b,
802.11g, and 802.11n modes are supported.)
Wireless Client
Software
Client software, such as Microsoft Windows
Supplicant, configured to associate with the access
point.
Client Security
Settings
Security should be disabled on the client used to do
initial configuration of the access point.
If the Security mode on the access point is set to
anything other than plain text, wireless clients must
have a profile set to the same authentication mode
used by the access point and provide a valid username
and password, certificate, or user identity required by
the authentication server. Security modes are Static
WEP, IEEE 802.1X, WPA with RADIUS server, and WPA-
PSK.
For information about configuring security on the
access point, see Configuring the Wireless
Distribution System, page 85.
