Introduction
This chapter introduces the features, package contents, and appearance of the
NETGEAR® WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card.
About the WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card
The WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card gives you ultimate mobility in your office
or while you are traveling. It frees you from traditional Ethernet wiring and helps
you create a wireless network for sharing your broadband cable or DSL Internet
access among multiple PCs in and around your home. It is designed for notebook
computers running Microsoft® Windows®. It is both 16-bit PCMCIA and 32-bit
CardBus compatible and works in any available PCMCIA or CardBus slot. Its
auto-sensing capability allows the highest packet transfer or dynamic range
shifting to the lower speeds due to distance or operating limitations in an
environment with a lot of electromagnetic interference.
It provides reliable, standards-based 802.11g LAN connectivity that is protected
with industry-standard security. It works with Windows 95B, 98, Me, NT4, 2000,
and XP operating systems.
Key Features and Related NETGEAR Products
The WG511 PC Card provides the following features:
•
•

Supports roaming between access points when configured in Infrastructure
mode.
•
•
11 Mbps high rate speed. Wireless nodes negotiate to operate in the optimal
data transfer rate. In a noisy environment or when the distance between the
wireless nodes is far, the wireless nodes automatically fall back to operate at
the lower transfer rate of two or one Megabit per second.
Highest level of data encryption using128-bit Shared Key WEP data
encryption method. Lower level of data encryption or no data encryption is
available to simplify your network setup or to improve data transfer rate.

Chapter 2
Installing the
WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card
This section describes how to set up your WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card for
wireless connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).
Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11 wireless networks at
a maximum range of up to 500 feet. With this distance, and 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
WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card provides highly effective security
features which are covered in Section 3 of this manual. Netgear strongly
recommends you deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
What You Will Need Before You Begin
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.
Verify System Requirements
Before installing the WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card, please make sure that
these minimum requirements have been met:
• You must have a Pentium® Class notebook computer with an available
PCMCIA or Cardbus slot.
• A CD-ROM drive.
• 5 Mbytes of free hard disk space.
• Some versions of Windows may ask for the original Windows operating
system installation files to complete the installation of the WG511 driver
software.
Observe Location and Range Guidelines
Computers can connect over 802.11g wireless networks indoors at a maximum
range of approximately 500 feet. However, the operating distance or range of your
wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical location of the
computer with the WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card. For best results, avoid
potential sources of interference, such as:
•
•
•
Large metal surfaces
Microwaves
2.4 GHz Cordless phones
In general, 802.11g wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if
the walls are constructed with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the 802.11g
effective range will decrease if such materials are between the devices.
Two Basic Operating Modes
The WG511 PC Card, like all 802.11b adapters, can operate in the following two
basic modes:
•
Infrastructure Mode: An 802.11 networking framework in which devices
and computers communicate with each other by first going through an access
point (AP).
For example, this mode is used when computers in a house connect to an
Access Point that is attached to a router which lets multiple computers share a
single Cable or DSL broadband Internet connection.
•
Ad-Hoc Mode: An 802.11 networking framework in which devices or
computers communicate directly with each other, without the use of an AP.
For example, Ad-Hoc Mode is used when two Windows computers are
configured with file and print sharing enabled and you want to exchange files
directly between them.
Both of these configuration options are available with the WG511 PC Card.
WG511 Default Wireless Configuration Settings
If this is a new wireless network installation, use the factory default settings to set
up the network and verify wireless connectivity. If this is an addition to an
existing wireless network, you will need to identify the wireless configuration and
security parameters already defined.
Note: All NETGEAR, Inc. 802.11 wireless access products use the same factory
settings as the WG511 and will work without any configuration changes.
Your WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card factory default basic settings are:
•
Wireless network name Service Set Identification (SSID): Wireless
Note: In order for the WG511 PC Card to communicate with a wireless access
point or wireless adapter, all devices must be configured with the same SSID.
•
Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc): Infrastructure

Chapter 3
Protecting Your Wireless Connection
The absence of a physical connection between nodes makes wireless links
vulnerable to information theft. This chapter describes how to use the basic
security features of the WG511 802.11g Wireless PC Card to protect your
connection.
Enabling Basic Wireless Security Features
There are several ways you can strengthen the security of your wireless
connection.
•
Enable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption of the wireless data
communications.
•
Change the factory default SSID setting of the WG511 802.11g Wireless PC
Card.
In addition to the WG511 wireless security features, you should also configure
appropriate LAN network security features such as requiring a user name and
password to access the shared resources in your network.
Netgear strongly recommends that, at a minimum, you configure your wireless
network to use an SSID other than the default setting.The procedures below
identify how to change the SSID and WEP encryption settings of your WG511
802.11g Wireless PC Card.
21
Identifying the Wireless Network Name (SSID) and
WEP Security Settings
Print this form, fill in the configuration parameters and put it in a safe place for
possible future reference. For an existing wireless network, the person who set up
the network will be able to provide this information.
•
Wireless Network Name (SSID): The Service Set Identification (SSID)
identifies the wireless local area network. Wireless is the default WG511
SSID. You may customize it by using up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
Netgear recommends that you write your customized SSID on the line below.
Note: The SSID in the wireless access point is the SSID you configure in the
wireless pc card. For the access point and wireless nodes to communicate with
each other, all must be configured with the same SSID.
Wireless network name (SSID): ______________________________
•
WEP Security Encryption key: The default WEP encryption key number is 1,
and the default key size is 64 bits.
Note: The key number as well as the key value used by both the Wireless
Access Point and wireless nodes must be the same. If they are different, you
will not be able to connect.
WEP Encryption Key Size, circle one: 64 or 128 bits
WEP Encryption Passphrase, if used: ____________________________
A Passphrase is used to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal
numbers for the key. If the wireless network Access Point uses a Passphrase,
you can also use that here. Otherwise, you will have to manually enter the
hexadecimal numbers.
WEP Hexadecimal Numbers: ______________________________
The WEP Hexadecimal Numbers are needed if a Passphrase is not used in the
wireless network access point but rather if the key is manually entered.
Use the procedures below to configure basic security settings in the WG511.
22
Setting the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
These settings must match the settings of the wireless Access Point. Follow the
steps below to perform this procedure.
1.
Run the Config Utility and select the Configuration tab page.
2.
To change the SSID, enter a new SSID.
Note: The characters are case sensitive.
3.
Click Apply or OK for the changes to take effect.
Configuring WEP Encryption Security
Following the steps below to perform this procedure.
1.
Run the Config Utility and select the Encryption tab page.
2.
Select the WEP encryption strength you will use. The choices are:
•
•
64-bit WEP data encryption
128-bit WEP data encryption
Note: Larger encryption keys require more processing and may slow the
communications response times.
3.
Check the Create with Passphrase radio button and enter the passphrase. Click
Apply and the configuration utility automatically generates the WEP keys.
Note: The characters are case sensitive. Be sure to use the same passphrase
for all the wireless devices in the network.
If the passphrase method is not available in the other devices, you must
manually enter the keys to match exactly what is in the access point and other
802.11b wireless devices.
4.
The Default Key setting must match what is set in the access point and the
other 802.11 wireless devices.
5.
Click Apply then OK for the changes to take effect.
