Building a WLAN in packet tracer (Lab 12‐1) - Dleifnesor/NET-150 GitHub Wiki

completed Lab

To configure a Wireless LAN, first a wireless router must be enabled, and configured

to do this, you must first understand how many devices you expect to be connected, and what your use case would be for the router itself

Some examples:

A cafe with a lot of in and out traffic, you would want the DHCP leases to expire about as often as customers leave, so you would set them to 20 minutes

An office setting would require clients and employees to have their devices connected to access points almost all day, so a DHCP lease of 8 hours would be best

the lease times and IP ranges all depend on what you need for your exact setting, so make sure to plan them accordingly

Now to actually configure the router

This is the GUI for cisco packet tracers Wireless router

I am using an IP range of 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.149

so 50 hosts total,

to do this you would input how many users you want, along with your starting IP address

and make sure to enter the Default gateway for your internet access (and DNS server address if you have any locally hosted services)

then set the SSID and password in the wireless > wireless security tab

once that is complete and you have the correct info for your wireless router, connect to the network on your endpoint device

I had trouble connecting to the webserver that i had on 192.168.30.15 but i didnt input the IP address into the search field, putting the proper IP, then putting /image.html after resulted in being able to view the webserver from the laptop
