works.
Can my neighbor receive the Adapter’s network signal?
It is possible for a neighbor to receive the network signal. To prevent this, change the
default 56-bit
DES
security encryption password on the Adapter (see chapter 3).
How do I find out what the current speed and signal strength of the
Adapter’s network is?
Run the Adapter’s Configuration Utility to show current speed and signal strength.
How many Adapters do I need to set up a network?
Two, at minimum.
To set up the Adapter’s network correctly, do I have to install the
Configuration Utility on each computer on the network?
No, the Configuration Utility is a diagnostic and security tool. Since the Adapter
is fully plug-and-play compatible, it needs no software drivers to operate.
How many Adapters can be installed on the same LAN (local area network)?
Actiontec recommends using no more than 16 Adapters on one network.
