The Netopia 3387W-ENT in an 802.11b wireless network

To create your 802.11b wireless network you must install a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ wireless adapter card in each computer that will join the wireless LAN.

Many manufacturers offer such adapter cards for almost all major brands of computers. You can ﬁnd lists of these adapters on the Wi-Fi Alliance website: http://www.weca.net.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing your wireless adapter card, and using any scanning or networking utility they provide. These vary by manufacturer.

Once your Netopia 3387W-ENT is installed and conﬁgured, and the wireless LAN is enabled, your wireless client computers can join your wireless LAN.

Various wireless security features are available, but disabled by default. See Chapter 7, “Wireless LAN Conﬁguration,” on page 7-1for instructions on enabling wireless security features.
