Which wireless cards will work with the Gateway?
The Gateway connects with any wireless card supporting the 802.11g/802.11b
wireless standards.
Can my wireless signal pass through floors, walls, and glass?
The physical environment surrounding the Gateway can have a varying effect
on signal strength and quality. Generally, the more dense the object (a concrete
wall compared to a plaster wall, for example), the greater the interference.
Concrete or metal-reinforced structures will experience a higher degree of signal
loss than those made of wood, plaster, or glass.
I have an Apple computer that uses the Airport wireless device. Is this device
compatible with the Gateway?
Yes, the Apple Airport system complies with the 802.11b standards. If you be
use the WEP security feature, refer to the Apple Airport documentation for
information on the proper method to enter the WEP key for compatibility with
the Gateway’s hexadecimal WEP entry.
9.2c Network
I use my laptop at work and at home. Is there something special I need to do to
make it work in both places?
Yes. Reconfigure your network setting (Workgroup, Domain, Password, User
name, IP addressing or any other specific settings used by your company). You
may also use third party software like NetSwitcher to automatically switch
between different configurations.
What is the valid IP range I can use for my home network?
The valid IP range for the Gateway is 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.254 by default.
