Basic Setup

The NETGEAR 108 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter WG311T lets you connect a PC computer to

wireless networks. It is designed for PC computers running Microsoft Windows. For information

about product features and compatible NETGEAR products, see the NETGEAR website at

http://www.netgear.com.

This chapter describes how to install your WG311T Wireless PCI Adapter and set up basic

wireless connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). Advanced wireless network

set up is covered in Chapter 2, “Network Connections and Wireless Security” in this manual.

What You Need Before You Begin

You must verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements and get the wireless

network configuration settings of the WLAN where you will connect before you can configure

your wireless PCI adapter and connect.

Verify System Requirements

Before installing the WG311T Wireless PCI Adapter, please make sure that these minimum

requirements have been met:

• Pentium

III class computer with an available PCI slot

•CD drive

• 20 Mbytes of free hard disk space

• Some versions of Windows may ask for the original Windows operating system installation

files to complete the installation of the WG311T driver software

Note: Indoors, computers can easily connect to 802.11 wireless networks at distances of

several hundred feet. Because walls do not always block wireless signals, others

outside your immediate area could access your network. It is important to secure

your network from unauthorized access. The WG311T Wireless PCI Adapter

provides highly effective security features, which are covered in “Wireless

Security” on page 2-10. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
