After the PC has started up, insert the Sweex CD-ROM in the CD-ROM player. If you have already done so, briefly open the CD-ROM loader and close 
it again.

The CD-ROM will start automatically. A menu will automatically appear. 

In the event that the autorun menu does not appear, it can also be started manually. In order to do this, open “My computer” and go to X: (X being 
the letter of your CD-ROM drive). Here you will find the “autorun.exe” file. Double-click to execute.

Click on “Driver Windows 98SE” to start the driver installation process. 

Follow the installation procedure until you see the window below.

 

Here select “Install Client Utilities and Driver” and click “Next”.

Follow the subsequent steps to complete the installation procedure. When the computer prompts you to restart, click “OK” to do so.

Setting the wireless network

How does it work?

In order to create a wireless network, you need a wireless router, wireless modem or WiFi access point. The wireless router, modem or access point 
transmits the wireless network. The name of this network, also referred to as SSID, depends on your wireless router, modem or access point and 
often differs per model or brand. You can often determine the name yourself and thus recognise your own wireless network. 

Protection

You could compare a wireless network to radio signals. However, the range of a wireless network at home is not as extensive. Your home wireless 
network often has a range of 20 to 30 metres. This means that neighbours and passers-by too can make use of your network. As a result they can 
get away with surfing on your Internet connection, and they may gain access to your shared folders and files on your network. That is why it is often 
recommended to secure your wireless network. This protection is set up on the device transmitting the network. In most cases that is the wireless 
router, modem or access point. By adding a WEP or WPA protection code, you secure your network. This code is also referred to as the network key. 
Enter this code on each computer that wants to connect to that secured network. You can only be part of that network if you enter this code. If you 
did not enter the network key into the router or modem yourself, ask the installer, manufacturer, supplier or provider for this code.
