Why ask if you've done it all correctly?!

So *exactly* what doesn't

Right, so *exactly* what have you done?
You've stated that you've configured it all correctly (but not provided
any detail) and it doesn't work, you've done other "stuff" and it
doesn't work.
Simple answer is that yes it ought to be possible to get a wireless
connection but you're going to need to provide much more detail because
right now, the only thing that can be offered is to suggest to configure
it in accordance with the instructions.
