The Network Key you're probably asking for is on a sticker located, underneath the router. Can you check? If you have an existing network, chances are you have already
configured network services on the network. In this case, you would use
the router as a pure Access Point to extend the range of your network by
allowing more attachment of wireless and wired computers. You MUST
also turn off the DHCP server on the router if there is a DHCP server running to
avoid IP address conflict. To configure the router as an Access Point with the
DHCP server disabled: Open your web browser and go to http://my.router, (or the default address
http://192.168.2.1.)
Click the Basic Settings tab on the top navigation bar.
Select Access Point Mode.
Click the Next button.
Click OK to dismiss the DHCP disabled message
box (The DHCP server will be disabled in Access Point Mode by default).
Click the
Advanced Settings tab on the top
navigation bar.
Click the Advanced IP Settings tab on the
left navigation bar.
Assign an IP address to the Wireless Broadband Router.
Click the
Submit
button.
Click the
Save & Restart button.
Note the status bar at the bottom of the screen.
While the Wireless Broadband Router resets, the Power
light on the front of the
unit blinks.
When your web browser returns to the main page of the
Wireless Broadband Route, the device has successfully restarted with the new
settings. Plug an Ethernet cable from the existing local
network into any LAN
port on the Wireless Broadband Router.
Here's a way to configure your router for your existing network (assuming you already have one) :
NOTE: The IP address should be reserved by the DHCP server. The
Wireless Broadband Router cannot act as a DHCP client, therefore, it needs a static IP
address for its LAN interface.
NOTE: The main page may not return
if you have changed IP address of the router in Step 8. To
view the main page, type the new IP address of the router in the web
browser to access it.
To load the Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router's default settings, hold down the reset button on the router for at least five seconds. While the unit resets, the Power light blinks.
WPA is an upgrade to the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) standard
for securing your wireless network. If you would like to secure your
wireless network using WPA, you will need the following:
WPA enabled on your Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband
Router
WPA support for your wireless clients. If you are using a Dell
TrueMobile wireless client, you can check for the availability of WPA enabled
software update for your wireless client at
