2. Quick Start

2.1 Installation and Device Connection

Install the CD-ROM software driver before you plug in the USB-Yagi antenna to you PC or laptop
computer. This avoids the antenna being recognized by another existing WiFi software driver which
might not be fully compatible with the antenna’s original software driver.

Before making any device and cable connection to the computer, you have to install the CD software
driver and utility from fresh.

Your CD should have the most current software version. Otherwise, you could obtain the latest software
driver and utility in the link below.

For Apple MAC OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion

For Windows 8

http://www.danets.com/support/Windows8DriverMediatek.exe

For Windows XP

http://www.danets.com/support/WindowsXpDriverMediatek.exe

Insert the CD-ROM into the CD/DVD drive of your computer.

As soon as the AutoPlay window appears, double click “SETUP.EXE” to install the software driver. If the
AutoPlay window does not pop up, you could also go to the CD/DVD drive under “My Computer” and
double click the SETUP icon.

Reboot your computer.

Once completed, you could plug in the USB-Yagi antenna to any spare USB port of your computer using
the USB2.0 cable supplied in the kit.

2.2 Choice of Location

You may either setup the antenna on a table or a tall wooden book shelf near the ceiling. Extend the legs
of the tripod to maintain stability. Never put the antenna on a metal cabinet or behind a metal structure.
If you intend to setup the antenna outdoor such as roof top, balconies, poles or towers, be sure to install
an arrestor for lightning protection.

Once you have chosen the location, make sure that your RF cable is long enough to each your wireless
router or WLAN client adapter device. Point the antenna in the direction of the signal source.
