Thank you for purchasing the Wireless G Desktop Card (the Card)

from Verizon. Now you can take advantage of this great new

technology and gain the freedom to network your home and office

computers wirelessly. This Card allows you to connect a desktop

computer to your network. The easy installation and setup will have

you networking wirelessly in minutes. Please be sure to read through

this User Manual completely, and pay special attention to the section

entitled “Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for

Optimal Performance” on page 2.

Benefits of a Home Network

Your Verizon Home Network will allow you to:

• Share one high-speed Internet connection with all the computers in

your home

• Share resources, such as files, and hard drives among all the

connected computers in your home

• Share a single printer with the entire family

• Share documents, music, video, and digital pictures

• Store, retrieve, and copy files from one computer to another

• Simultaneously play games online, check Internet email, and chat

Advantages of a Wireless Network

Here are some of the advantages of setting up a wireless network:

•

Mobility

– you no longer need a dedicated “computer

room”—you can work on a networked laptop or desktop

computer anywhere within your wireless range

•

Easy installation

– Verizon Quick Installation Software makes

setup simple

•

Flexibility

– set up and access printers, computers, and other

networking devices from anywhere in your home

•

Easy expansion

– the wide range of Verizon networking products

lets you expand your network to include devices such as printers

and gaming consoles

•

No cabling required

– you can spare the expense and hassle of

retrofitting Ethernet cabling throughout the home or office

•

Widespread industry acceptance

– choose from a wide range

of interoperable networking products

Introduction

Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for

Optimal Performance

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer

is to your

wireless router

. Typical indoor operating range for your

wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet. In the same way, your

wireless connection and performance will degrade somewhat as

the distance between your

wireless router

and connected devices

increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move

farther from your

wireless router

, connection speed may decrease.

Factors that can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your

network’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions,

and walls.

If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be

related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to

a position between five and 10 feet from the

wireless router

in order

to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at close

range, please contact Verizon Technical Support at 888-604-5880.

Note:

While some of the items listed below can affect network

performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from

functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating

at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.

1. Placement of your Wireless Router

Place your

wireless router

, the central connection point of your

network, as close as possible to the center of your wireless

network devices.

To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless

clients,” (i.e. computers enabled by Wireless Notebook Network

Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless

USB Adapters):

• Ensure that your

wireless router’s

antennas are parallel to each

other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your

wireless router

itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas

as much as possible in an upward direction.

•

In multistory homes, place the

wireless router

on a floor that is as

close to the center of the home as possible. This may mean placing

the

wireless router

on an upper floor.

•

Try not to place the

wireless router

near a

cordless 2.4GHz phone.

Introduction

section

Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avoid placing your wireless router near devices that may emit radio

“noise”, such as microwave ovens. Other objects that can inhibit

wireless communication can include:

• Refrigerators

• Washers and/or dryers

• Metal cabinets

• Large aquariums

• Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows

If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that

objects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path between your

computers and wireless router.

3. Cordless Phone Placement

If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after

attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:

• Try moving cordless phones away from the

wireless router

and your wireless-enabled computers.

• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone

that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check the manufacturer’s

information). If this fixes the problem, the phone may

be interfering.

• If your phone supports channel selection, change the

channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your

wireless network as possible. For example, change the

phone to channel 1 and move your

wireless router

channel 11. (Your channel selection will vary depending on

your region.) See your phone’s user manual for detailed

instructions.

• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz

cordless phone.

4. Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network

In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment

buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks

nearby

that can conflict with yours. Use the Site Survey capabilities of your

Wireless Networking Utility to locate any other wireless networks, and

move your wireless router and computers to a channel as far away

from other networks as possible.

Experiment with more than one of the available channels in order to

find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighboring

cordless phones or other wireless devices.

For more wireless netwo

rking products from Verizon, use the

detailed

site survey and wireless channel information included in

your User Manual.

5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL

Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and

are used where security is important. Secure connections include:

• Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to connect

remotely to an office network

• The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America Online

(AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by

another DSL or cable service

• Most online banking websites

• Many commercial websites that require a user name and

password to access your account

Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer’s power

management setting, which causes it to “go to sleep.” The simplest

solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by re-running the VPN or

AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website.

A second alternative is to change your computer’s power management

settings so it does not go to sleep; however, this may not be appropriate

for portable computers. To change your power management setting in

Windows, see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panel.

If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections, VPNs, and

AOL, please review steps 1-4 in the previous pages to be sure you

have addressed these issues.
