computer to wireless networks. It is designed for PC computers running Microsoft Windows. For

This chapter describes how to install your Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter and set up basic wireless

connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Advanced wireless network set up is

covered in Chapter 2, “Network Connections and Wireless Security”.

What You Need Before You Begin

You need to verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements and identify the

wireless network settings of the wireless network where you will connect before you can set up

your VPN firewall and connect.

Verify System Requirements

Before installing the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter, make sure that these minimum requirements have

been met. You must have a computer with:

• A Pentium

300 MHz or higher compatible processor with an available USB 2.0 or 1.1 port.

•A CD drive.

• 5 MB of free hard disk space.

• Windows Vista, Windows XP SP1 with KB822603 hot fix, Windows XP SP2, or Windows

2000 SP4.

Note: If you do not have a USB 2.0 port on your computer, the throughput of the

Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter is limited to the 14 Mbps of the USB 1.1 standard.
