Reference Manual for the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter WG311 v3

Introduction 1-3

A Road Map for ‘How to Get There From Here’

The introduction and adoption of any new technology can be a difficult process. Wireless

technology has removed one of the barriers to networking—running wires. It allows more people

to try networking, while at the same time exposes them to the inherent complexity of networking.

General networking concepts, set up, and maintenance can be difficult to understand. In addition,

wireless technology adds issues such as range, interference, signal quality, and security to the

picture.

To help overcome potential barriers to successfully using wireless networks, the table below

identifies how to accomplish such things as connecting to a wireless network, assuring appropriate

security measures are taken, browsing the Internet through your wireless connection, exchanging

files with other computers and using printers in the combined wireless and wired network.
