Wireless-G Business PCI Adapter with RangeBooster
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G Business PCI Adapter. Setting up your network and your Wireless-G
Business PCI Adapter is easier than ever.
The Wireless-G PCI Adapter is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in your computer. Just
install it into your computer's PCI Card slot and enjoy incredible high-speed wireless network access while not
having to run cable wires.
RangeBooster technology increases your wireless network's range up to two times, and its throughput by up to
35%. Unlike ordinary wireless technologies that are confused by signal reflections, RangeBooster uses two
smart receivers at each end to detect and decode reflected signals at distances where standard technologies
give up. You'll find that "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area are reduced, too.
But what does all of this mean?
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.
Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, and share files and other
resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network, wherever your work takes
you, without cables.
The Advanced security features makes this solution ideal for your business. Advanced wireless security using Wi-
Fi Protected Access™ (WPA2 Enterprise) with up to 256-bit encryption, and the new Wireless Security Monitoring
functionality gives your business the visibility and protection it needs. When used with a Linksys WAP200, the
Wireless Security Monitoring alerts you of possible wireless intruders and vulnerabilities in the wireless network
deployment.
The included Setup Wizard walks you through configuring the Adapter to your wireless network settings, step by
step. Use the instructions in this Guide to help you set up and connect the Adapter using the Setup Wizard. These
instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Adapter.
