This chapter describes how to install your wireless adapter and set up basic wireless connectivity

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

“Network Connections and Wireless Security” on page 2-1.

What You Need Before You Begin

You must 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 wireless adapter and connect.

Verify System Requirements

Before installing the Wireless 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 port.

•A CD drive.

• 10 MB of free hard disk space.

• Windows 2000, XP, or Vista.

Observe Wireless Location and Range Guidelines

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

on the location of the computer with the Wireless Adapter. For best results, avoid potential sources

of interference, such as:

• Large metal surfaces

• Microwave ovens

• 2.4 GHz Cordless phones
