with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the effective range will decrease if such materials are
between the devices.

carton, including the original packing materials, in case you need to return the product.
Default Wireless 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 need the
wireless network and wireless security settings that are already defined.
Your Wireless Adapter factory default basic settings are:
• Network Name Service Set Identification (SSID): ANY
• Network Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-hoc): Infrastructure
• Data security WEP, WPA2-PSK, or WPA-PSK encryption: Disabled
The section below provides instructions for setting up the Wireless Adapter for basic wireless
connectivity to an access point.
Note: In order for the Wireless Adapter to communicate with a wireless access point
or wireless adapter, all devices must be set up to use the same wireless network
name (SSID).
