2Wire Wireless PC Card
The Wireless PC Card is a wireless network card that fits into any standard PC Card Type II slot. A
standard Ethernet card requires a cable connection to a hub or a patch panel. Using the Wireless PC Card,
you have the same connectivity without the wires. Expanding or redesigning your network is easy, and
unlike cabled Ethernet, the Wireless PC Card allows you to roam throughout the network while remaining
connected to the LAN.
Follow these steps to install the Wireless PC Card:
Step 1 -
Install the Wireless PC Card.
Step 2 -
Install the drivers.
Step 3 -
Reboot your computer so Windows recognizes the adapter.
The following sections give you detailed instructions for completing each step.
Installing the Wireless PC Card
To install the Wireless PC Card, turn off your computer and
simply insert the card into the PC Card slot. If you have a
desktop computer, you need to use an internal wireless
adapter in order to insert the Wireless PC Card.
