Wireless-N PCI Adapter Chapter 1: Introduction Welcome Thank you for choosing the Wireless-N PCI Adapter. Setting up your network and the Adapter is easier than ever. How does the Adapter do this? Like all wireless products, the Adapter allows for greater range and mobility within your wireless network, whether it's using the Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B (802.11b) standard. But with Wireless-N, it has even better range and speed. But what does all of this mean? Networks are useful tools for sharing computer resources. You can access one printer from different computers and access data located on another computer's hard drive. Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video games. So, networks are not only useful in homes and offices, they can also be fun. 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. The included Setup Wizard walks you through configuring the Adapter to your wireless network settings, step by step.
