Section 2 - Installation

Getting Started

Installation

This section will walk you through the installation process. If you have a built-in wireless adapter, please disable it in

device manager before installing your D-Link adapter. Also, if you have previously installed another wireless adapter,

please make sure any software is uninstalled.

Before installing your new D-Link wireless adapter, please verify the following:

• Remove any previous installations of wireless adapters

• Disable any built-in wireless adapters

• Verify the settings such as the SSID and security settings of the network(s) you want to connect to

Remove Existing Installations

If you’ve installed a different manufacture’s adapter or a different model D-Link adapter, make sure the software is

uninstalled before installing the new software. Some utilities may cause a conflict with the new software. If you plan

to use multiple adapters at different times, make sure the utilities are not set to load when your computer boots up.
