lLAB 12‐1 ‐ Building a WLAN in Packet Tracer - rune-seregina/net-150-sp24 GitHub Wiki

What was this lab's objective?

This lab was an introduction to wireless networking, where I built a small wireless LAN and made sure devices could route to access a web server.

Packet Tracer Notes:

  • Set up internet connection type: Wireless Router > GUI Tab > Internet connection type > Static IP > configure internet IP (save at bottom)
  • Network setup: Within GUI > Network Setup > Router IP > Wireless > configure router LAN address > enable DHCP (save at bottom)
  • Wireless access: Within GUI > Wireless > Network mode > Wireless-N only > Set SSID > Disable SSID broadcast (save at bottom)
  • Wireless security: Within GUI > Wireless security > Security Mode > WPA2 Personal > configure password (save at bottom)


  • (Manually) configure wireless client: Desktop > PC wireless > profiles > new > "Wireless Access" > advanced setup > (infrastructure mode) > Manually enter SSID > next > Obtain network settings automatically > next > WPA2 Personal > Enter password > Save > Connect to network

Troubleshooting

At first, I wasn't able to load webpage on Laptop 2. I checked where the problem was using simulation mode and identified the problem as the middle router. Then, I double checked my interface configurations and found a mistake in my IP address configurations which, when tweaked, fixed the problem and I was able to access the web server on laptop 2 and 3.
