Configuring your wireless network

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

There are several offerings from ISI that will require your device to be established as a device on your Local Area Network wirelessly. This article will walk you through the process of configuring your wireless network.

Note: This is not the procedure for configuring a customer accessible Wifi network.

Setting up your network for wireless connectivity

Use the following steps to connect your device to the ISI Network:

  1. From your ISI Computer, open your web-browser (Firefox, Chromium etc…). You can normally get to the web-browser by clicking on the Firefox icon at the top of your screen or Chromium icon on your Desktop.
  2. Connect to the router or access point at your location:
  1. Type the IP address for the router or access point into the address bar of the web-browser and then press [Enter].
Note: The IP address for an ISI router is 192.168.151.1 and the IP address for the access point is 192.168.151.180.
  1. You will be prompted to enter the username and password. Enter the information for your router or access point.

  1. Note:
 If the username and password are still set to be the defaults then leave the username blank and enter the password of isiap1
  1. Check and write down the wireless settings below if you already have wireless access active.
  1. If the Network Mode was set to Mixed, you already have an active wireless network.
Note: If Wireless Network Mode is Disabled then skip to the section on setting up a wireless connection. An example of this is shown in the below picture.
  1. Write down the Wireless Network Name (SSID).
  2. If you made any changes click on Save Settings.

  1. Click on Wireless Security and verify that it is set to WPA2 Personal.
  2. Write down the Passphrase/WPA Shared Key.
  3. If you made any changed to the below page, click on Save Settings.

  1. You can now close the web-browser if you wish. Skip step 4 as your wireless network is already set up.
  1. Set Up your wireless connection for the first time (Use the images in the previous steps for reference).
  1. The Network Mode should be set to Mixed.
  2. Type whatever you desire to be the Network Name. The default Network Name is isi.
  3. Click on Save Settings.
  4. Next, click on Wireless Security.
  5. Set the Security Mode to WPA2 Personal.
  6. Type in whatever you desire to be the WPA Shared Key.
Note: This will be the password to access your network wirelessly. It should not be easy for someone to guess.
  1. Click on Save Settings. It is now safe to close the web-browser.
