Operating Modes  
The GN-WP01GT PCI Adapter can operate in three modes:  
802.11b (11b) – 2.4GHz 11Mbs. This radio has a range of about 50  
meters and a maximum throughput of 11 Mbit/s. Although it’s slower  
than 11g, it’s still the most commonly used network today.  
802.11g (11g) 2.4GHz 54Mbps. In June 2003, a third standard for  
Wi-Fi was ratified: 802.11g. This version works in the 2.4 GHz band  
(like 802.11b) but operates at 54 Mbit/s raw, throughput like 802.11a.  
It is fully backwards compatible with 11b and uses the same  
frequencies.  
Super G - The Super G is a set of technologies was invented by the  
Atheros Company to double the throughput of the 54Mbps promised  
by the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard. To use Super G, not only  
your PCI Adapter but your wireless Router or AP must also support  
the Atheros Super G functionality.  
These and other advanced configuration options are explained further in  
Chapter 3 - Configuring the WP01GT.

FAQ  
This section provides solutions to common problems that may occur during  
installation, configuration or use of the Adapter.  
Q: What is Ad-hoc mode?  
A: When a wireless network is set to Ad-hoc mode, the wireless-equipped  
computers are configured to communicate directly with each other. The  
Ad-hoc wireless network will not communicate with any wired network..  
Q: What is Infrastructure mode?  
A: Also referred to as Access Point Mode. When a wireless network is set to  
infrastructure mode, the wireless network is configured to communicate  
with a wired network through a wireless access point.  
Q: What is the IEEE 802.11g standard?  
A: The IEEE 802.11g standard specifies data rates of up to 54 Mbps in the  
2.4-GHz band. It uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing  
(OFDM), which is provided by this standard and is compatible with  
802.11b standard offering speeds of about 11 Mbps. This standard uses  
Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation. Both 11g and 11b can  
operate at a range of up to 300 feet.

Wireless Security  
The WP01GT, and all of GIGABYTE’s wireless offerings are all built to deliver  
the easiest and most secure wireless networking experience as possible.  
Please understand the following key points in order to enjoy a safe and secure  
wireless network.  
Wireless Security Tips  
The following are basic wireless security tips which will minimize the chance of  
a breach in your private wireless network:  
1. Change the default SSID.  
2. Disable SSID Broadcast.  
3. Change the default password for the Administrator account.  
4. Enable MAC Address Filtering.  
5. Change the SSID periodically.  
6. Use the highest encryption algorithm possible. Use WPA if it is available.  
7. Change the WEP encryption keys periodically.  
Dont Be a Statistic  
Wireless networks are easy to find. Statistics show that roughly half of all  
wireless networks have no security in place at all, i.e. they are open systems for  
anyone to freely use as they please. In fact, nearly 25% of the time, the  
default administrator username/password remain as system defaults! Leaving  
your wireless network open for the taking. Following the easy steps outlined  
above will give you peace of mind, and keep your network out of reach from  
would be hackers. Don’t be a statistic!

Glossary  
ADSL  
Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a new modem technology that  
converts existing twisted-pair telephone lines into access paths for high-speed  
communication of various sorts.  
Auto-MDI/MDIX  
On a network hub or switch, an auto-MDI/MDIX port automatically senses if it  
needs to act as a MDI or MDIX port. The auto- MDI/MDIX capability eliminates  
the need for crossover cables.  
Auto-negotiate  
To automatically determine the correct setting. The term is often used with  
communications and networking  
DHCP  
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for  
automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can be used  
to automatically assign IP addresses, to deliver TCP/IP stack configuration  
parameters such as the subnet mask and default router, and to provide other  
configuration information such as the addresses for printer, time and news  
servers.  
DMZ  
In computer networks, a DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a computer host or small  
network inserted as a "neutral zone" between a company's private network and  
the outside public network. It prevents outside users from getting direct access  
to a server that stores company data. Typically, the DMZ contains devices  
accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP  
(e-mail) servers and DNS servers.  
DNS  
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service.  
DNS is used mostly to translate between domain names and IP addresses, and  
to control Internet email delivery. Most Internet services rely on DNS to work. If  
DNS fails, web sites cannot be located and email delivery service will be  
suspended.  
Dynamic IP Address  
An IP address is automatically assigned to a user’s AP in a TCP/IP network  
typically by a DHCP server.

Firewall  
A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network.  
Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination  
of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users  
from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets.  
All messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which  
examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified  
security criteria.  
Gateway  
A device, usually a Router, that connects hosts on a local network to other  
networks.  
IP Address  
Every PC on the Internet has a unique identifying number, called an IP Address.  
A typical IP address looks like this: 216.27.61.137  
IPSec  
IPSec stands for IP Security. It provides authentication and encryption over the  
Internet. It functions at Layer 3 and thus secures everything on the network. It  
has become a standard protocol used for virtual private networks (VPNs).  
MAC Address  
On a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC (Media Access  
Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. Usually written  
as: 01:23:45:67:89:ab  
MTU  
The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be sent or received.  
NAT  
A technique by which several hosts share a single IP address for accessing to  
the Internet.  
Ping (Packet Internet Groper)  
A utility to determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It works by  
sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. PING is used  
primarily to troubleshoot Internet connections.  
SSID  
SSID is the name representing the Router in WLAN.

PPPoE  
Point-to-Point over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the  
Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.  
Router  
A device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at  
least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP  
network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more  
networks connect.  
Subnet Mask  
A mask used to determine which subnet an IP address belongs to. An IP  
address has two components, the network address and the host address.  
Subnetting enables the network administrator to further divide the host part of  
the address into two or more subnets.  
TCP/IP  
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), the suite of  
communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet.  
VPN  
Virtual private networks are secured private network connections, built on top of  
publicly accessible infrastructure, such as the Internet or the public telephone  
network. VPNs typically employ some combination of encryption, digital  
certificates, strong user authentication and access control to provide security to  
the traffic they carry. They usually provide connectivity to many machines  
behind a gateway or firewall.  
WAN  
Wide Area Network, a communication network that covers a relatively broad  
geographic area, consisting of two or more LANs. Broadband communication  
over the WAN is often through public networks such as the ADSL or Cable  
systems, or through leased lines or satellites. To simplify it, please image  
network as a WAN.  
WEP  
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a data privacy mechanism based on a  
64/128-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
