Chapter 3

Basic Setup

This chapter describes how to install your NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter WG111

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 54 Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter WG111, 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.

Note: If you do not have a USB 2.0 port on your PC, the throughput of the WG111 will be

limited to the 14 Mbps of the USB 1.1 standard.

•A CD-ROM drive.

• 5 Mbytes of free hard disk space.

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 54 Mbps Wireless

USB 2.0 Adapter WG111 provides highly effective security features which are covered

in “Enabling Wireless Security Features” on page 4-7 in this manual. Deploy the

security features appropriate to your needs.
