Chapter 1
Basic Setup
This chapter includes instructions for custom installation of your wireless-N USB adapter and
basic configuration. There are two methods that you can use to install the wireless-N USB adapter:
• Express Installation uses the NETGEAR Smart Wizard configures your adapter automatically.
This method is explained in the Installation Guide.
• Installation with Custom Setup lets you specify where the software is installed, and select
either the NETGEAR Smart Wizard or the Windows utility to configure your wireless-N USB
adapter. See “Installation with Custom Setup” on page 1-3.
NETGEAR strongly recommends that you implement wireless security to protect your network
from unauthorized access. See Chapter 2, “Network Connections and Wireless Security.
