Setting up the Adapter

Wireless-G PCI Adapter with RangeBooster

Manual Setup

If your network is not listed with the available networks, you can use Manual Setup.

1. Click Manual Setup on the Available Wireless Network screen to set up the adapter manually.

2. The Network Settings screen from the Wireless Network Monitor will appear. If your network has a router or

other DHCP server, click the radio button next to Obtain network settings automatically (DHCP).

If your network does not have a DHCP server, click the radio button next to Specify network settings. Enter

an IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS addresses appropriate for your network. You must

specify the IP Address and Subnet Mask on this screen. If you are unsure about the Default Gateway and DNS

addresses, leave these fields empty.

IP Address - This IP Address must be unique to your network.

Subnet Mask - The Adapter’s Subnet Mask must be the same as your wired network’s Subnet Mask.

Default Gateway - Enter the IP address of your network’s Gateway here.

DNS 1 and DNS 2 - Enter the DNS address of your wired Ethernet network here.

Click the Next button to continue, or click the Back button to return to the previous screen.

3. The Wireless Mode screen shows a choice of two wireless modes. Click the Infrastructure Mode radio

button if you want to connect to a wireless router or access point. Click the Ad-Hoc Mode radio button if you

want to connect to another wireless device directly without using a wireless router or access point. Enter the

SSID for your network.

Infrastructure Mode - Use this mode if you want to connect to a wireless router or access point.

Ad-Hoc Mode - Use this mode if you want to connect to another wireless device directly without using a

wireless router or access point.

SSID - This is the wireless network name that must be used for all the devices in your wireless network. It is

case- sensitive and should be a unique name to help prevent others from entering your network.

Click the Next button to continue, or click the Back button to return to the previous screen.
