Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem

Connect the Cable or DSL modem to the DI-774 Wireless Router (see the printed Quick Installation Guide included with your router.)

If you are connecting a desktop computer to your network, install the D-Link Air Xpert DWL-AG520 wireless PCI adapter into an available PCI slot on your desktop computer.

(See the printed Quick Installation Guide included with the network adapter.)

Install the D-Link DWL-AG650 wireless Cardbus adapter into a laptop computer. (See the printed Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-AG650.)
