WL500 Quick Start Guide
Installation for Windows Vista and Windows 7
Insert the WL500 Drivers CD-ROM in to your Windows PC. After the
CD-ROM has been detected by Windows, plug in the WL500 in to a
spare USB port.
After a few seconds, Windows should detect the WL500 and either
display the
“Found New Hardware Wizard” as shown in Fig 10 or the
small pop up window shown in Fig 11.
If
you see the “Found New Hardware Wizard” window in Fig 10, click
on the “Locate and install driver software (recommended)” option and
Windows will start searching for the WL500 drivers.
After a short period (<30 seconds), you should either see the window
in Fig 12 or the small pop up window shown in Fig 13.
Your WL500 is now ready to use. If your laptop has a built-in, normal wireless adaptor, then you should turn it off
whenever the WL500 is plugged in. Consult your laptop instruction manual to find out how to do this. Following this
procedure whenever the WL500 is plugged in, will ensure that you connect via the WL500 to get the best signal range
possible.
The WL500 should now appear in Windows Vista as one of the Wireless Network Adaptors available on your PC. On the
taskbar, right click on the wireless network icon and select the option “Connect to a Network”. Select the Wireless network
that you wish to connect to and click
the “Connect” button (see Fig 14).
