You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into your home or office).

Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem.

Connect the Cable or DSL modem to your broadband router (see the Quick Installation Guide included with your router).

If you are connecting a desktop computer to your network, you can install the D-Link AirPremierTMAG DWL-AG530 Wireless PCI Adapter into an available PCI slot on your desktop computer. You may also install the DWL-A520, DWL-G520 or other compatible D-Link Wireless PCI Adapter.

(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the network adapter).

Install the D-Link DWL-AG660 Wireless Cardbus Adapter into a laptop computer.

(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-AG660).

If you wish, you may connect a computer that is equipped with an Ethernet network adapter (such as a DFE-530TX+) to the router also.

A RADIUS server is optional. Connect a RADIUS server to your network to use all the features of WPA. (Without a RADIUS server you can still use the WPA Pre-Shared Key mode.) RADIUS Authentication can also be provided by another service provider over the Internet and remote to your network site.
