Netgear WG602NA 사용자 설명서

Basic Installation and Configuration

3-1

This chapter describes how to set up your 54 Mbps Wireless Access Point WG602 v3 for wireless 
connectivity to your LAN. This basic configuration will enable computers with 802.11b or 
802.11g wireless adapters to do such things as connect to the Internet, or access printers and files 
on your LAN.

You need to prepare these three things before you can establish a connection through your wireless 
access point:

•

A location for the WG602 v3 that conforms to the guidelines below.

•

A device such as a hub, switch, router, or Cable/DSL gateway. 

•

One or more computers with properly configured 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapters.

The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the 
physical placement of the wireless access point. The latency, data throughput performance, and 
notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration 
choices.

Indoors, computers can connect over wireless networks at ranges of several 

hundred feet or more. This distance can allow for others outside your area to access your 
network. It is important to take appropriate steps to secure your network from 
unauthorized access. The WG602 v3 Access Point provides highly effective security 
features which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features 
appropriate to your needs.

Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance 

degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the WG602 v3.
