Depending on your Router’s setup, you may be prompted to
do something…
If you are prompted to enter your Network Security Key, enter
your wireless security password and hit
Connect
.
If you are prompted to setup your network, click
OK
to setup
your network. You will asked to name your wireless network
and Windows will automatically setup security on your
network. If you click
Connect to your Network without
setting it up
you will make a non secure wireless connection.
We recommend setting up your network to help keep it
secure.
If you are prompted to
Enter the PIN from your router’s
label (usually 8 digits),
please enter the pin. If there is no
PIN printed on the Router, you can find it on one of your
Router’s setup pages. This page is usually marked WPS.
Please consult your Router’s manual for more information. If
you don’t want to do this, then click on
Connect using a
security key instead
. Enter your wireless security password
and hit
Connect
.

When asked “Do you want to turn on sharing between PCs
and connect to devices on this network?” Click
Yes
to enable
sharing and
No
to disable sharing. Sharing sets up your
firewall to allow other users on your network to share files,
folders or devices such as printers. If
you know you don’t
want to share files or devices, select
No
.
Your computer is now connected to your wireless Network and
your USB adapter setup is complete! If you want help with the
Wireless Network Configuration utility, see Windows Help and
Support.
To disconnect from the current network:
1
Left-click the wireless network icon in the notification area of
the Windows taskbar.
2
Right-click your wireless network name (SSID) and select
Disconnect
