Wireless setup problems

Why do I have to change my machine’s network setting to “Wired LAN” during setup although I am trying to setup Wireless LAN?

If you are using Windows^® 2000 / Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater, your computer is connected to the wireless network using a network cable, it is recommended you temporarily connect the machine to your access point/router, hub or router using a network cable. You will also need to change your machine’s network setting to wired LAN temporarily. Your machine’s network setting will be changed to wireless LAN automatically during the course of the setup.

•	For Windows^®: Configuration in Infrastructure mode Configuration in Infrastructure mode using SES/WPS or AOSS from the control panel menu (without network cable) Configuration in Ad‑hoc mode
•	For Macintosh: Configuration in Infrastructure mode Configuration in Infrastructure mode using SES/WPS or AOSS from the control panel menu (without network cable) Configuration in Ad‑hoc mode
