Attach to Your Network Using Radio Signals

Install a wireless network adapter in each computer that will be connected to the Internet or your local network via radio signals. Philips currently offers several wireless network cards, including the Philips Wireless USB Adapter and the Philips Wireless Notebook Adapter.

Rotate both antennas on the back of the Wireless Base Station to the desired position. For more effective coverage, position antennas along different axes; for example around 45 to 90 degrees apart.Try to place the Wireless Base Station in a position that is located in the center of your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance. Ensure that the Wireless Base Station’s location provides optimal reception throughout your home or office.

Computers equipped with a wireless adapter can communicate with each other as an independent wireless Local Network by configuring each computer to the same radio channel. However, the Wireless Base Station can provide access to your wired/wireless Local Network or to the Internet for all wireless workstations. Each wireless PC in this network infrastructure can talk to any computer in the wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or network resources in the wired Local Network infrastructure or over the Internet via the Wireless Base Station.

The wireless infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired Local Network, but also increases the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by retransmitting incoming radio signals through the Wireless Base Station.
