Basic Installation and Configuration

3-1

This chapter describes how to set up your NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless Access Point 802.11g 
WG302 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 WG302 that conforms to the 

below.

•

The wireless access point connected to your LAN through 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 802.11g 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 WG302 Access Point provides highly effective security 
features which are covered in detail in 

. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
