User Manual for the NETGEAR WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter

3-2 Basic Setup

System Requirements

Before installing the WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter, please make sure that these minimum

requirements have been met:

• For connecting into a wired network, you must have the network set up and working with an

access point or wireless router.

• For creating an Ad-Hoc network without an access point, all devices must have a receiver/

transmitter. (The receiver/transmitter may be another WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter

adapter.)

If the default settings do not work, you will need to configure the WGE111 Wireless Game

Adapter. Also, if you have more than one WGE111 in the network, only one can use the default IP

address. You'll have to configure the others with unique IP addresses. To configure the WGE111

Wireless Game Adapter, you must have a personal computer with Internet browser software

installed, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.0 (or later) or Netscape® 6.0 (or later).

Placement and Range Guidelines

Computers and other Ethernet-enabled devices can connect over wireless networks indoors at

more than 500 feet. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary

significantly based on the physical location of the WGE111 Wireless Game 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 wireless devices.
