Basic Setup

This chapter describes how to install your NETGEAR 11 Mbps Wireless USB Adapter MA111

and set up basic wireless connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Advanced

wireless network configuration is covered in Chapter 4, “Configuration” in this manual.

What You Need Before You Begin

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

wireless network configuration settings of the WLAN where you will connect before you can

configure your wireless USB adapter and connect.

Verifying System Requirements

Before installing the NETGEAR 11 Mbps Wireless USB Adapter MA111, please make sure that

these minimum requirements have been met:

• You must have a PC with a Pentium

300 MHz or higher compatible processor with an

available USB 2.0 or 1.1 port.

•A CD-ROM drive.

• 5 Mbytes of free hard disk space.

• Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, 2000, Me, or 98SE. Some versions of

Windows may ask for the original Windows operating system installation files to complete the

installation of the MA111 driver software.

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 11

Mbps Wireless USB Adapter MA111 provides highly effective security features which

are covered in “Enabling Wireless Security Features” on page 4-5 in this manual.

Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
