wireless network settings of the wireless network where you will connect before you can set up
your wireless notebook adapter and connect.

Before installing the Wireless Adapter, please make sure that these minimum requirements have
been met. You must have a computer with:
• A Pentium300 MHz or higher compatible processor with an available Cardbus slot.
•ACDdrive.
• 10 MB of free hard disk space.
• Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

• 2.4 GHz Cordless phones
In general, wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if the walls are constructed
with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the effective range will decrease if such materials are
between the devices.

carton, including the original packing materials, in case you need to return the product.
Default Wireless Settings
If this is a new wireless network installation, use the factory default settings to set up the network
and verify wireless connectivity. If this is an addition to an existing wireless network, you need the
wireless network and wireless security settings that are already defined.
Your Wireless Adapter factory default basic settings are:
• Network Name Service Set Identification (SSID): NETGEAR
• Network Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-hoc): Infrastructure
• Data security WEP, WPA2-PSK, or WPA-PSK encryption: Disabled
The section below provides instructions for setting up the Wireless Adapter for basic wireless
