Configuring Wireless Security in Windows XP

C-1

This section describes how to configure basic wireless security on your Wireless Local Area 
Network (WLAN) when using Windows XP. 

 

You need to verify your computer meets the minimum system requirements and identify the 
wireless network configuration settings of the WLAN where you will connect before you can 
configure your wireless pc card and connect. 

Computers can connect over 802.11 wireless networks indoors at a range which vary significantly 
based on the physical location of the computer with the CG814WG Wireless Cable Modem 
Gateway. For best results, avoid potential sources of interference, such as: 

•

Large metal surfaces

•

Microwaves

•

2.4 GHz Cordless phones

In general, 802.11 wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if the walls are 
constructed with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the 802.11 effective range will decrease if 
such materials are between the devices.

Note: Indoors, computers can easily connect to 802.11 wireless networks at distances of 
several hundred feet. Because walls do not always block wireless signals, others outside 
your immediate area could access your network. It is important to take appropriate steps 
to secure your network from unauthorized access. The CG814WG provides highly 
effective security features which are covered in the Comcast user manual. Deploy the 
security features appropriate to your needs.
