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, please visit www.smc.com for more details.

Try to place the Wireless Barricade 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 Barricade’s location provides optimal reception throughout your home or office.

A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database, or for connection between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure:
