DWL-3200 AP easy configuration guide

I bought a new DWL-3200AP for making my wireless network strong and stable but I never did configuration of this device earlier. I was familiar with many other wireless routers but never got chance to configure an access point.

I searched on internet for some easy solution for this but I was unlucky for finding an easy configuration guide. After not finding it on internet I made call to few of my friend s and finally made it done.

If you want to go for the typical and complicated installation guide you can go ahead with that.
