steel while cinderblock walls generally have little or no
structural steel.

Position wireless devices away from electrical devices that

2.3 Installing USB Driver
You should install the USB driver into your PC before using USB
connection. To install the USB driver, you must execute
“WA1003A-RUDriver.exe” contained on the CD-ROM, which is
provided with the modem. During the installation, it doesn’t need any
interference from your side.
If you are using Windows XP/2000, a new “Local Area
Connection” will then be built for USB port.
