Wireless-N USB Network Adapter with Dual-Band

Chapter 1:

Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Linksys by Cisco Wireless-N

USB Network Adapter with Dual-Band. Using the latest

wireless networking technology, the Adapter adds

or upgrades wireless connectivity on your notebook

computer. To help protect your data and privacy, you can

use industrial-strength WPA2 encryption to protect your

wireless connection.

LED

Link (Blue) The LED flashes when there is

wireless network activity.

Storing the Cap

When the Adapter is plugged into the USB Extension Base

or your computer’s USB port, the cap may be stored on

the top of the Adapter.

To store the cap, push it onto the top of the adapter until

it fits snugly.

USB Extension Base

A USB Extension Base is provided for easy access to the

USB port. To use the USB Extension Base, connect the

Adapter to the Base, then connect the USB Extension Base

to the USB port on your PC or laptop.

Wireless Security Checklist

Chapter 2:

Wireless Security Checklist

Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so

homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them

at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by

sending information over radio waves, it can be more

vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network.

Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals

from your wireless network can also be intercepted. Since

you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting

to your wireless network, you need to take some additional

steps to keep your network secure.

1. Change the default wireless

network name or SSID

Wireless devices have a default wireless network name

or Service Set Identifier (SSID) set by the factory. This

is the name of your wireless network, and can be up

to 32 characters in length. Linksys wireless products

use linksys as the default wireless network name. You

should change the wireless network name to something

unique to distinguish your wireless network from other

wireless networks that may exist around you, but do not

use personal information (such as your Social Security

number) because this information may be available for

anyone to see when browsing for wireless networks.

2. Change the default password

For wireless products such as access points and routers,

you will be asked for a password when you want to change

their settings. These devices have a default password set

by the factory. The Linksys default password is admin.

Hackers know these defaults and may try to use them

to access your wireless device and change your network

settings. To thwart any unauthorized changes, customize

the device’s password so it will be hard to guess.

3. Enable MAC address filtering

Linksys routers give you the ability to enable Media Access

Control (MAC) address filtering. The MAC address is a

unique series of numbers and letters assigned to every

networking device. With MAC address filtering enabled,

wireless network access is provided solely for wireless

devices with specific MAC addresses. For example, you can

specify the MAC address of each computer in your home

so that only those computers can access your wireless

network.

4. Enable encryption

Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless

network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) and Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security

for wireless communication.

A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure

than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2

uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information

as it passes over the airwaves, you should enable the

highest level of encryption supported by your network

equipment.

WEP is an older encryption standard and may be the

only option available on some older devices that do not

support WPA.

General Network Security Guidelines

Wireless network security is useless if the underlying

network is not secure.

• Password protect all computers on the network and

individually password protect sensitive files.

• Change passwords on a regular basis.

• Install anti-virus software and personal firewall

software.

• Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications

may open file sharing without your consent and/or

knowledge.

Additional Security Tips

• Keep wireless routers, access points, or gateways away

from exterior walls and windows.

• Turn wireless routers, access points, or gateways

off when they are not being used (at night, during

vacations).

• Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters

in length. Combine letters and numbers to avoid using

standard words that can be found in the dictionary.

Configuration

The Linksys Wireless Manager is used to configure the

Adapter. The Wireless Manager lets you search for available

wireless networks, establish or terminate a connection

with a wireless network, and save a wireless network’s

settings.

How to Access the Wireless Manager

After you have installed the Adapter, the Linksys Wireless

Manager icon appears in the system tray of your computer.

If the Adapter is connected to a wireless network, the icon

will have green bars (the exact number of green bars

varies depending on the network’s signal strength). If the

Adapter is not connected to a wireless network, the icon

will have gray bars with a red X.

How to Use the Wireless Manager

The Wireless Manager opens with the Connect to a

Wireless Network screen. This screen allows you to connect

to a wireless network, or to disconnect from a wireless

network.

When the Connect to a Wireless Network screen first

appears, it displays a message indicating that the Wireless

Manager is searching for wireless networks within range.

When the search is complete, the screen displays the

available wireless networks within range.

Connect to a Wireless Network—Searching for Wireless Networks

Connect to a Wireless Network—Available Wireless Networks

The list of available wireless networks provides the

following information about each network:

• Network name The network’s unique name or SSID.

• Connection status The word Connected appears if

the Adapter is connected to the network.

• Wi-Fi Protected Setup support The icon

appears

if

the network supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

NOTE: The Adapter supports Wi-Fi Protected

Setup, a feature that makes it easy to set up

a wireless network. For information on this

feature, go to How to Connect Using Wi-Fi

Protected Setup, page 6.

• Security The icon appears if the network uses

wireless security. The security type (WPA2, WPA, WEP) is

listed below the network name.

• Network signal strength The green bars in the

icon indicate the network’s signal strength; is the

strongest level and is the weakest level.

THE PRODUCT, IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY

OF ANY KIND. Without limiting the foregoing, Linksys does

not warrant that the operation of the product or software

will be uninterrupted or error free. Also, due to the

continual development of new techniques for intruding

upon and attacking networks, Linksys does not warrant

that the product, software or any equipment, system or

free of vulnerability to intrusion or attack. The product

may include or be bundled with third party software or

of a third party’s service for which this product’s use or

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE

OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY OR

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE LIMITED TO

THE DURATION OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. ALL OTHER

EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS

AND WARRANTIES ARE DISCLAIMED. Some jurisdictions

do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty

lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This

limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you

may also have other rights which vary by jurisdiction.

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW,

IN NO EVENT WILL LINKSYS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST

DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT, OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT,

OR SOFTWARE, EVEN IF LINKSYS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF

THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT

NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL

LINKSYS’ LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU

FOR THE PRODUCT. The foregoing limitations will apply

even if any warranty or remedy provided under this limited

warranty fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions

do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental

or consequential damages, so the above limitation or

exclusion may not apply to you.
