NETGEAR RangeMax NEXT Wireless PCI Adapter WN311T User Manual

1-2 Basic Setup

v2.0, February 2007

What You Need Before You Begin

You must verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements and get the wireless

network configuration settings of the WLAN where you will connect before you can configure

your wireless PCI adapter and connect.

Verify System Requirements

Before installing the WN311T Wireless PCI Adapter, make sure that these minimum requirements

have been met:

• Pentium

III class computer with an available PCI slot

•CD drive

• 20 Mbytes of free hard disk space

• Some versions of Windows may ask for the original Windows operating system installation

files to complete the installation of the WN311T driver software

Observe Wireless Location and Range Guidelines

Computers can connect over wireless networks indoors at a range which vary significantly based

on the physical location of the computer with the WN311T Wireless PCI Adapter. For best results,

avoid potential sources of interference, such as:

• Large metal surfaces

•Microwaves

• 2.4 GHz Cordless phones

In general, wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if the walls are constructed

with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the effective range will decrease if such materials are

between the devices.

WN311T Default Wireless Settings

If this is a new wireless network installation, use the factory default settings to set up the network

and verify wireless connectivity. If this is an addition to an existing wireless network, you will

need to identify the wireless network and wireless security settings that are already defined.
