To use the Wireless-N USB Adapter with a computing device, the Wireless-N
USB Adapter must be equipped with a proper Interface. All drivers and
supporting software for the Wireless-N USB Adapter must be installed and
configured first.
Ask your system administrator for the following information, which you may
need to provide during driver installation :
Your Wireless Client Name, Your Wireless SSID.
Your computer’s unique client name and workgroup name. For your network
account, your user name and password.
Your IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask if you’re not using a
DHCP client.
Any computer on a network is identified by a unique network address. There
are two methods to assign a network address to a computer on a TCP/IP
network :
Static IP addressing.
Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP Client).
In network with static IP addressing, the network administrator manually
assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a static IP address is assigned, a
computer uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to the
network. You may manually change the IP address in the
Network
Properties dialog box.
Network using static IP address is easy to set up
and do not require additional network management software.
In network with dynamic IP addressing, a DHCP server in the network
dynamically assigns IP addresses to all clients every time they log on to the
network. Network using dynamic IP address requires setting up and running a
DHCP Server.
