Chapter 3
Basic Setup
This chapter describes how to install your NETGEAR RangeMax™ Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter
WPN111 and set up basic wireless connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).
Advanced wireless network configuration is covered in Chapter 4, “Configuration” in this
manual.
What You Need Before You Begin
You need to verify your computer meets the minimum system requirements and identify the
wireless network configuration settings of the WLAN where you will connect before you can
configure your wireless USB adapter and connect.
Verifying System Requirements
Before installing the NETGEAR RangeMax™ Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter WPN111, please make
sure that these minimum requirements have been met:
You must have a PC with a Pentium
®
300 MHz or higher compatible processor with an
available USB 2.0 or 1.1 port.
Note: If you do not have a USB 2.0 port on your PC, the throughput of the WPN111 will be
limited to the 14 Mbps of the USB 1.1 standard.
•A CD-ROM drive.
5 Mbytes of free hard disk space.
Note: Indoors, computers can easily connect to 802.11 wireless networks at distances of
several hundred feet. Because walls do not always block wireless signals, others outside
your immediate area could access your network. It is important to take appropriate steps
to secure your network from unauthorized access. The NETGEAR RangeMax™
Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter WPN111 provides highly effective security features which
are covered in “Enabling Wireless Security Features” on page 4-7 in this manual.
Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
