Wireless-N PCI Adapter with Dual-Band

Chapter 1:

Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the Linksys by Cisco Wireless-N

PCI 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. The included Setup Wizard will walk

you through configuring the Adapter to your network’s

settings, step by step.

Bracket Features

The Adapter is a PCI board attached to a standard-sized

bracket. An optional, low-profile bracket is also included.

ANT The antenna connector is a connection

point for one of the Adapter’s antennas.

LINK/ACT (Green) The LED lights up when

the Adapter is connected to a wireless

network. The LED flashes when the Adapter

is sending or receiving data over the wireless

connection.

ANT The antenna connector is a connection

point for one of the Adapter’s antennas.

Use of the Low-Profile Bracket (Optional)

If your computer is low-profile, then attach the PCI board

to the low-profile bracket before you install the Adapter in

your computer.

There are two screws that attach the PCI board to its 1.

standard-sized bracket. Remove both screws.

Use the two screws to attach the PCI board to the 2.

low-profile bracket.

To install the Adapter, run the Setup Wizard on the 3.

Setup CD. For more information, refer to the Quick

Installation.

Wireless Security Checklist

Wireless-N PCI Adapter with Dual-Band

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.

Chapter 3:

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.
