Afterwards, you are mostly asked to enter the network 

security key

. For 

reasons of safety, we advise you against using uncoded networks. 

Click “

Connect

” for confi rmation.

Windows establishes now the connection to the desired WLAN. Afterwards, 

you can store the network and start it automatically next time. The connec-

tion is so automatically established in future. Finish the confi guration by 

clicking with the mouse “

Close

”.

4.3 Setting up an Ad-hoc network

This enables direct connections to another Wireless LAN Client device, e.g. a USB stick or a WLAN PCI add-in card. No wireless LAN 

router or Accesspoint is required for this. 

If such a network already exists, you can establish a connection with this one as described above. 

If it is to be set up a new, so that other users can connect themselves, you have to proceed as described below: 

Click the symbol with the two computer monitors in the task bar with the

 left mouse

 button: 

Click 

“Connect to a network”, “Set up a connection or network”

 and then 

Set up a wireless Ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network

”. Confi rm with 

-> Next -> Next

In the next window, you are asked to enter data concerning the network 

name and the security type. More information is shown if you move the 

mouse cursor towards the appropriate fi eld. 

Additional remarks concerning 

the network name and WPA2 security key

. Here, you should only use letters 

from A-Z, as well as numbers from 0-9.

Confi rm your specifi cations with 

-> Next -> Close

5. Confi guring the operating system and computer (Windows)

After you have successfully installed the network adapter, you still have to install or 

confi gure a protocol. This protocol governs the data exchange between the computer 

and the network. TCP/IP is most common. Each computer has to be assigned its own 

address for the protocol. Automatic address assignment is only reliable if a DHCP server 

exists in the network, e.g. a router or access point. If you have one of these devices with 

a DHCP function, you should leave the setting on “Get automatically”. 

Proceed as follows to check the settings on your PC:

Start -> Settings -> Control panel -> Network connections

Select the connection (network adapter) via which your PC is connected to the router, 

e.g. “LAN connection”. When you 

right-click

 the corresponding connection, the follow-

ing screen is displayed when you select 

Properties.

Select the 

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

 entry in the list and click 

Properties.
