Chapter 3
Basic Setup


This chapter describes how to install your NETGEAR Double 108 Mbps Wireless PC Card 32-bit CardBus WG511U and set up basic wireless connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Advanced wireless network configuration is covered in Chapter 4, "Netgear Smart Wireless Wizard in this manual.
 
Note: Indoors, computers can easily connect to 802.11 wireless networks at distances of several hundred feet. Because walls do not always block wireless signals, others outside your immediate area could access your network. It is important to take appropriate steps to secure your network from unauthorized access. The NETGEAR Double 108 Mbps Wireless PC Card 32-bit CardBus WG511U provides highly effective security features which are covered in "Wireless Security Configuration" on page 5-1 in this manual. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
