3.2 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. SMC currently offers several wireless network cards, including the SMC2802W wireless PCI and SMC2835W wireless PC cards.

Rotate both antennas on the back of the Router to the desired position. For more effective coverage, position the antennas around 45 to 90 degrees apart. Try to place the Router 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 Router’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 LAN by configuring each computer to the same radio channel. However, the Router can provide access to your wired/wireless LAN 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 LAN infrastructure or over the Internet via the Router.
