Note: NETGEAR does not recommend that you use another cable to connect the adapter to the USB port on your computer. Use the desktop dock with the attached cable that is supplied in the package. Using another USB cable might affect the performance and correct functioning of the adapter.

Note: When the adapter is placed in the desktop dock, you can fold out the adapter to its maximum angle for increased WiFi performance.
