Wireless-G PCI Adapter with RangeBooster
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G PCI Adapter with RangeBooster. With this Adapter, your wireless
networking experience will be faster and 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. And with RangeBooster, the range and speed will be even greater. This adapter
communicates over the 54Mbps 802.11g wireless standard, but can also communicate with the widely used
11Mbps 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.
Use the instructions in this Guide to help you connect the Adapter, set it up, and configure it for your network.
These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Adapter.
