Setting up the wireless network
How does it work?
To create a wireless network you need a wireless router, wireless modem or WiFi access point. The wireless router, modem or
access point distributes the wireless network. The name of this network, also called the SSID, is dependant on your wireless router,
modem or access point and is different per type or brand. You can often change the name, so you can easily identify your own
wireless network.
Security
A wireless network is comparable with radio signals. However, a wireless network at home does not have such a long range. The
range of a home network often has a range of 20 to 30 meters. This means that neighbours and passers-by can also use your
network. This way they can surf on your internet connection and possibly access your shared folders and files on your network
unpunished. That is why it is recommended to secure your wireless network. This security is configured on the device that
transmits the network. In most cases this is the wireless router, modem or access point. By means of a WEP or WPA security code
you can secure your network. This code is also called the network key. Enter this code on every computer that wants to connect to
the secured network. Only with this key you can be part of the network. If you did not enter the network key yourself in the router
or modem, ask the installer, manufacturer, supplier or provider for this code.
Connecting the computer to the wireless network
After installing the drivers of the Sweex Wireless LAN Cardbus Adapter 54 Mbps, you can connect your wireless computer with the
wireless network. We describe this procedure underneath.
