Home Wireless-G PC Card
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Home Wireless-G PC Card. With this PC Card, your wireless networking experience
will be faster and easier than ever.
How does the PC Card do this? Like all wireless products, the PC Card 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 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 PC Card to your wireless network settings, step by
step. Use the instructions in this Guide to help you set up and connect the PC Card using the Setup Wizard. These
instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the PC Card.
