USB-Link™ 3 Installation and Setup Manual
Chapter 2: Introducing the USB-Link™ 3
Wireless Wi-Fi Connection
The USB-Link™ 3 can be configured to use Wi-Fi to provide wireless communication between the
USB-Link™ 3 and your PC.
There are two network options:
• Mini Access Point Mode (pg. 15)
• Infrastructure Mode (pg. 16)
If you use your PC’s internal wireless network card to connect to both your company’s network and the
USB-Link™ 3, you will not have access to the Internet until you have finished your session. If you prefer
to have access to the Internet while using performing diagnostics, you will need an additional wireless
network card dedicated for use with the USB-Link™ 3.
Wi-Fi performance can be affected by network congestion, radio frequency interference, and too many
wireless devices in the vicinity. These conditions may result in dropped messages. For this reason,
wireless communication is not recommended for ECU reprogramming (i.e, reflashing).
