Hi, I will getting a wireless broadband router for a site office, so there is no problem with the LAN setting, its just the wireless part.
I want to share my wireless connection for all guests and traveling agents, so what is the best setting that is less hassle for a user to hook up my wireless connection easily?
I did tried setup an A.P. without any security setting (WEP/MAC filtering...etc), I just link it up to my switch, assign IP, set SSID and channel, thats all but seems like alot traveling agents is having problem to link to it.
Since the wireless user may use a broad of O.S, so what is u guys' suggestion?

What are the exact problems they are having, and on which O.S.'s? The range of problems I can imagine are pretty broad, so you would have to be a little more detailed. I would suggest a little more monitoring when they do try to connect to the WLAN, that way you can see if the problem is on the user side or on the AP side.

Besides that, since security isn't a issue in this case, I would change the channel to 11 and make sure the SSID is broadcasting.

Please post any results you get back.

Hope this helps,

I mean, there is alot traveling agents in my company so it is better for them to use wireless so as my walk in customers. So there will be alot users using different O.S. / laptop / wireless device. In order to reduce users complaining could not link to wireless network, what is the most simple way to let user connected and hassle free, so that I can spend less time to help each user to configure manually. Hope this give you a clear picture of my problem. Thanks
