Basic Installation and Configuration

202-10083-01

Before you begin, gather your existing network settings such as the TCP/IP addresses and
networking protocols in use.

Verify Printer and Network Readiness

Assure that the following are available:

You have a working Ethernet network running TCP/IP with at least one Windows 98SE, Me,
2000, or XP PC.

You have a printer with a USB port.

Note: The NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless USB Print Server with 4-Port Switch WGPS606
does not support printers using parallel connectors. If your printer uses a parallel connector,
you should use one of the other NETGEAR Print Servers such as the Model PS101 Mini Print
Server.

You may also need to have your printer driver software handy. For most popular printers,
Windows already has the printer driver software available.

properly before connecting it to the WGPS606.
