Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Wireless-G PCI Adapter

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G PCI Adapter. With this Adapter, your wireless networking experience will

be faster and easier than ever.

Like all wireless products, the Adapter allows for greater range and mobility within your wireless network. This

adapter communicates over the 54Mbps 802.11g wireless standard, which is almost five times faster than

802.11b. But since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, the Adapter can also communicate with the widely

used 11Mbps 802.11b standard.

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.

The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings, step by step.

Then just slide it into your computer's PCI Card slot and enjoy network access with the freedom of wireless.

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. At home, you can surf the

web or use instant messaging to chat with friends while sitting out on the patio. Your wireless connection is

protected by the new, industrial-strength security of Wireless Protected Access (WPA).

Get connected to current-standard 802.11b networks today, and be prepared for the future with the Wireless-G

PCI Adapter from Linksys.

802.11b: an IEEE wireless networking standard

that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of

11Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz

Network Topology

Wireless-G PCI Adapter

Chapter 2: Planning your Wireless Network

Network Topology

A wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped with one wireless adapter. Computers in a wireless

network must be configured to share the same radio channel. Several PCs equipped with wireless cards or

adapters can communicate with one another to form an ad-hoc network.

Linksys wireless adapters also provide users access to a wired network when using an access point or wireless

router. An integrated wireless and wired network is called an infrastructure network. Each wireless PC in an

infrastructure network can talk to any computer in a wired network infrastructure via the access point or wireless

router.

An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a wireless PC to a wired network, and can double the

effective wireless transmission range for two wireless adapter PCs. Since an access point is able to forward data

within a network, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure network can be doubled.

Roaming

Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. Roaming means that you can move your

wireless PC within your network and the access points will pick up the wireless PC's signal, providing that they

both share the same channel and SSID.

Before enabling you consider roaming, choose a feasible radio channel and optimum access point position.

Proper access point positioning combined with a clear radio signal will greatly enhance performance.

infrastructure: a wireless network that is

bridged to a wired network via an access point.

ad-hoc: a group of wireless devices

communicating directly with each other (peer-

to-peer) without the use of an access point.

roaming: the ability to take a wireless device

from one access point's range to another without

losing the connection.

ssid: your wireless network's name.

topology: the physical layout of a network.

access point: a device that allows wireless-equipped

computers and other devices to communicate with a wired

network. Also used to expand the range of a wireless network

Chapter 2: Planning your Wireless Network

Network Layout

Wireless-G PCI Adapter

Network Layout

Linksys wireless access points and wireless routers have been designed for use with 802.11a, 802.11b, and

802.11g products. With 802.11g products communicating with the 802.11b standard and some products

incorporating both “a” and “g”, products using these standards can communicate with each other.

Access points and wireless routers are compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g adapters, such at the PC

Cards for your laptop computers, PCI Card for your desktop PC, and USB Adapters for when you want to enjoy USB

connectivity. Wireless products will also communicate with the wireless PrintServer.

When you wish to connect your wired network with your wireless network, network ports on access points and

wireless routers can be connected to any of Linksys's switches or routers.

With these, and many other, Linksys products, your networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys website at

www.linksys.com for more information about wireless products. router: a networking device that connects multiple

networks together

switch: a data switch that connects computing devices

to host computers, allowing a large number of devices

to share a limited number of ports
