Where is wireless used?
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere, not just at home or office. People like the freedom of mobility and it's becom-
ing so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connections in
public places are usually called "hotspots".
Using a Wireless Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to the Internet from remote loca-
tions such as airports, hotels, coffee shops, libraries, restaurants, and convention centers.
Setup Tips
A wireless network is easy to setup, but if you're installing it for the first time, it could be quite a task if you don't know where
to start. That's why we've put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless
network.
Centralize your router or access point
Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to
place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If you have
a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the router/
access point. This would significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same
frequency.
Security
Don't let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on
the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to product manual for detailed information on how to set it up.
