Hercules HWNP-300
Quick Start Guide – 1/6
INTRODUCTION
A local area WiFi network allows users to easily exchange data between computers located in the same room
or in different rooms, share an Internet connection and/or a printer among several computers, play network
games and, above all, does away with the need for kilometers worth of cables.
By following the instructions in this manual, you will be able to install a local area WiFi network and secure it.
MORE DETAILED INFORMATION
Once installation of the drivers for your card is complete, you can access a more detailed manual, in PDF
format, directly on your computer by clicking Start - All Programs - Hercules Wireless N PCI. In it, you will
find all of the information you need to learn to configure and use your Hercules Wireless N PCI.
