Terminology list

This manual will contain a number of technical terms. It is important to know what they mean before you begin installing and configuring the adapter.

• Adapter: This is the Sweex Wireless 300N Adapter USB, the product you have just bought.
• Wireless network: Wireless networks are based on the Wi-Fi standard. The adapter enables you to connect to Wi-Fi networks at a speed of up to 300Mbps, provided that the network supports this speed (or higher)
• (wireless)Adapter, modem, access point: These are devices (amongst others) can transmit a wireless network signal.
• Wireless security: Wireless security is a form of protection for wireless networks that allows only authorized devices access to the network and prevents eavesdropping. There are several different forms of wireless security, as is explained further on in this manual.

Installation Windows XP, Vista and 7

Place the Sweex CD in the CD player, click "Drivers and Software" and follow the instructions on screen.

Setting up the wireless network

How does it work?

To create a wireless network you need a wireless adapter, wireless modem or Wi-Fi access point. The wireless adapter, modem or access point distributes the wireless network. The name of this network, also called the SSID, is dependant on your wireless adapter, modem or access point and is different per type or brand. You can often change the name, so you can easily identify your own wireless network.

Security

A wireless network is comparable with radio signals. However, a wireless network at home does not have such a long range. The range of a home network often has a range of 20 to 30 meters. This means that neighbours and passers-by can also use your network. This way they can surf on your internet connection and possibly access your shared folders

and files on your network unpunished. That is why it is recommended to secure your wireless network. This security is configured on the device that transmits the network. In most cases this is the wireless adapter, modem or access point.

By means of a WEP or WPA security code you can secure your network. This code is also called the network key. Enter this code on every computer that wants to connect to the secured network. Only with this key you can be part of the

network. If you did not enter the network key yourself in the adapter or modem, ask the installer, manufacturer, supplier or provider for this code.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

Securing the wireless network in the adapter can be done in two ways. The trusted manual way (WEP, WPA and WPA2), where you determine and enter your own network key, or with the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) function, where the modem, adapter or access point and the computer "agree" on a WPA(2) network key and use it automatically with one push of a button to secure the network. This function only works with a modem, adapter or access point that also supports WPS.

Note: Windows Vista from SP2 onwards and Windows 7 already support WPS out-of-the-box. When connecting to a WPS secured network, simply follow the instructions on screen. The procedure described below is for Windows XP only

Connecting and securing with WPS

After activating the WPS function be pressing the WPS button on the adapter or via the WPS configuration, you have the computer scan for the automatically generated network key, the network is secured automatically.

• Ensure you have the Utility installed on your computer.
• Start the WPS function on the modem, adapter or access point.
• Right-click the "Sweeex Wireless Utility" icon and choose "Open Utility".

The Sweex Utility will appear. Click on the "WPS Setting" tab, you should see the following screen:
