Wireless-G Business USB Network Adapter with RangeBooster

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G Business USB Network Adapter. Setting up your network and your Wireless-G Business USB Network Adapter is easier than ever.

The Wireless-G USB Network Adapter is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in your computer. Just connect it into your computer's USB port and enjoy incredible high-speed wireless network access while not having to run cable wires.

RangeBooster technology increases your wireless network's range up to two times, and its throughput by up to 35%. Unlike ordinary wireless technologies that are confused by signal reflections, RangeBooster uses two smart receivers at each end to detect and decode reflected signals at distances where standard technologies give up. You'll find that "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area are reduced, too.

But what does all of this mean?

PCs equipped with wireless cards and adapters can communicate without cumbersome cables. By sharing the same wireless settings, within their transmission radius, they form a wireless network.

Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network, wherever your work takes you, without cables.

The Advanced security features makes this solution ideal for your business. Advanced wireless security using Wi- Fi Protected Access™ (WPA2 Enterprise) with up to 256-bit encryption, and the new Wireless Security Monitoring functionality gives your business the visibility and protection it needs. When used with a Linksys WAP200, the Wireless Security Monitoring alerts you of possible wireless intruders and vulnerabilities in the wireless network deployment.

The included Setup Wizard walks you through configuring the Adapter to your wireless network settings, step by step. Use the instructions in this Guide to help you set up and connect the Adapter using the Setup Wizard. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Adapter.
