Today my lab partner, Jeremy, and I had to set up a D-link DIR wireless N router.

I decided to set up our router with using the sub-netting problem from our test today. So we ended up using 165.36.4.1 as the router IP address with 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask. The D-link router automatically set the ranges from 165.36.4.100~165.36.4.199. We set our broadcast SSCI to Jeremy&Scott.

After we set up the Router (since his PC was down) we unplugged the RJ-45 cat 5 networking cable and “tried” to install the D-link USB G wireless adapter. The first time we went to install the drivers for this adapter we got an error. So we restarted the PC and tried getting an update for the adapter, but this only uninstalled the current bad drives. So we had to restart the PC again go back to the D-link website and download the diver once more. This time we were able to get the adapter to work, but this only lasted for a few mins before it stopped working again. So to get it to work I had to removed it form the USB port and insert it into another USB port After we did this we had no more trouble for the Adapter. We used WPA and Mac filtering for security. After we had all this set up we were able to ping across and shear a file between the two PCs.
