1. Introduction of Wireless Router For ADSL Introducing the Wireless Router For ADSL Wireless Router For ADSL is a high performance wireless LAN access point that complies with the IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g wireless standards, which can be used to provide mobile clients with wireless access to an Ethernet network. The Wireless Router For ADSL supports Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition (ME), and Windows 98.
802.11b client cards will work with 802.11g access points, and 802.11g client cards will work with 802.11b access points. Note that 802.11b products cannot be upgraded to support 802.11g since the 802.11g radios use a different chipset than 802.11b devices. However, 802.11g products and 802.11b products can work in the same network.
2. Installation This chapter describes how to install a Wireless Router For ADSL and software in a computer running Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition (ME), or Windows 98 Second Edition (SE). Note for Windows XP Users: The Windows XP operating system has a built-in feature known as “Wireless Zero Configuration”...
2.3 Installation Install the driver before you insert the Wireless Router For ADSL into your computer. Install the driver for the Wireless Router For ADSL as the following step-by-step description. Double-click InstallShield Wizard icon in the installation CD-ROM to start installing the driver. Follow the instructions in the InstallShield Wizard to complete the installation.
3. Wireless Topologies Wireless Router For ADSL looks and operates similar to Ethernet products. The only difference is that a radio replaces the wire between communicating devices. This means that all of your existing applications that operate over Ethernet will work with the Wireless Router For ADSL without any special wireless networking software.

by installing one or more Access Points on the Ethernet network. Access Points are devices that communicate with both the Ethernet network and the wireless network. An Access Point network is also referred to as an Infrastructure network. The key difference between an Infrastructure network and an Ad-Hoc network is the addition of one extra element—the Access Point.

Figure 3 Roaming Between APs of Different Radio Types As the mobile client seamlessly switches from cell to cell, its network connectivity is preserved. The user can move freely between the Access Points in the network. When the roaming client leaves the transmission range of one Access Point, the card automatically detects the other Access Point(s) in the same vicinity to continue the network connection.

between range and data rate. Transmission techniques that provide high data rates operate over short distances; techniques that provide slower data rates operate over greater distances. By default, the Wireless Router For ADSL automatically switches between these data rates to maintain a usable radio connection and achieve the best data rate based on the card’s distance from the Access Point.
