Note: If you cannot connect, see “Connecting to Wireless Networks and the Internet” in Chapter 1. For problems with accessing network resources, the Windows Client and File and Print Sharing software might not be installed and configured properly on your computers. See the link to “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing” in Appendix B. Starting a Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) Network Connection 1. On the Settings tab page of the Smart Wizard, select or type the Network Name (SSID). 2. Select the Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) network type. 3. Click Initiate Ad Hoc. The Ad Hoc Setting dialog box opens: Figure 1-8 4. In the Start Ad Hoc field, choose the wireless standard (802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g) for your Ad Hoc computer-to-computer network. 5. In the Channel field, Automatic should work. If you notice interference problems with another nearby wireless device, select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless networks near your wireless adapter. Use the Networks tab page to identify the channels in use in your area. v2.0, February 2007 NETGEAR RangeMax NEXT Wireless Notebook Adapter WN511B User Manual 6. Click OK. Note: The channel number differs depending on the country. The connection speed automatically defaults to the highest speed. Wireless Security Many networks use wireless security to encrypt wireless data communications. If you try to connect to a network with wireless security the Smart Wizard detects it. Before you can use that network you must set up the Wireless Notebook Adapter with exactly the same kind of wireless security settings. The Wireless Notebook Adapter supports the following types of wireless security: • Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Pre-Shared Key (WPA2-PSK) • Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) • Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) For more information about wireless security, see the wireless reference document at: In addition to the wireless security features, networks should use LAN network security features such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared resources in the network. Using Wireless Security Features You can strengthen the security of your wireless connection by enabling Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption of the wireless data communications. Or, you can use Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) encryption. For more information about wireless security, see the online document In addition to the Wireless Notebook Adapter wireless security features, you should also configure appropriate LAN network security features such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared resources in your network. v2.0, February 2007 NETGEAR RangeMax NEXT Wireless Notebook Adapter WN511B User Manual Wireless Network Name (SSID) and Security Settings Print this page, fill in the configuration details, and keep it in a safe place for future reference. For an existing wireless network, the person who set up the network will be able to provide this information. • Network Name (SSID): The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the wireless local area network. Any (First available network) is the default wireless network name (SSID). You may customize it using up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Write your customized wireless network name (SSID) on the line below: Note: You must configure your Wireless Notebook Adapter with the SSID used by the wireless access point. Otherwise the Wireless Notebook Adapter and the access point will not be able to communicate with each other. Wireless network name (SSID): ______________________________ • If WEP Authentication is Used. – WEP Encryption key size. Select one: 64-bit or 128-bit. The encryption key size must the wireless network settings. – Data Encryption (WEP) Keys. There are two methods for creating WEP data encryption keys. Whichever method you use, record the key values in the spaces below. • Passphrase method. ______________________________ These characters are case sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable characters and click the Generate Keys button. Not all wireless devices support the passphrase method. • Manual method. These values are not case sensitive. For 64-bit WEP, enter 10 hex digits (any combination of 0-9 or a-f). For 128-bit WEP, enter 26 hex digits. Key 1: _____________________________ Key 2: _____________________________ Key 3: _____________________________ Key 4: _____________________________ • If WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK Authentication is Used. – Passphrase: ______________________________ These characters are case sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable characters. When you use WPA-PSK, the other devices in the network will not connect unless they are set to WPA-PSK as well and are configured with the correct Passphrase. v2.0, February 2007 NETGEAR RangeMax NEXT Wireless Notebook Adapter WN511B User Manual Setting up WEP ...
