Chapter 2 Installing The Ma401 802.11B Wireless Pc Card; What You Will Need Before You Begin - NETGEAR MA401 Installation Manual

This section describes how to set up your MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card for
wireless connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).
Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11 wireless networks at
a maximum range of up to 500 feet. With this distance, and because
walls do not always block wireless signals, others outside your
immediate area could access your network. It is important to take
appropriate steps to secure your network from unauthorized access. The
MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card provides highly effective security
features which are covered in Section 3 of this manual. Netgear strongly
recommends you deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.

What You Will Need Before You Begin

You need to verify your computer meets the minimum system requirements and
identify the wireless network configuration settings of the WLAN where you will
connect before you can configure your wireless pc card and connect.
