NETGEAR RangeMax NEXT Wireless PCI Adapter WN311B User Manual What You Need Before You Begin You need to verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements and get the wireless network configuration settings of the WLAN where you will connect before you can configure your wireless PCI adapter and connect. Verify System Requirements Before installing the WN311B Wireless PCI Adapter, please make sure that these minimum requirements have been met: • Pentium® III class computer with an available PCI slot • CD drive • 20 Mbytes of free hard disk space • Some versions of Windows may ask for the original Windows operating system installation files to complete the installation of the WN311B driver software Observe Wireless Location and Range Guidelines Computers can connect over wireless networks indoors at a range which vary significantly based on the physical location of the computer with the WN311B Wireless PCI Adapter. For best results, avoid potential sources of interference, such as: • Large metal surfaces • Microwaves • 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. WN311B 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 will need to identify the wireless network and wireless security settings that are already defined. 1-2 Basic Setup v2.0, February 2007
