2Wire Wireless USB Adapter

The Wireless USB Adapter is a wireless networking device that is connected to a USB port on your computer using a USB cable. Using the Wireless USB Adapter, you can communicate with one or more computers that are equipped with wireless adapters. Where a standard Ethernet card requires a cable connection to a hub or a patch panel, wireless networking provides the same connectivity without the wires. Expanding or redesigning your network is easy, and unlike cabled Ethernet, the Wireless USB Adapter allows users to roam throughout the network while remaining connected to the LAN.

Follow these steps to install the Wireless USB Adapter:

Step 1 - Install the Wireless USB Adapter.

Step 2 -Install the drivers.

Step 3 - Reboot your computer so Windows recognizes the adapter.

The following sections give you detailed instructions for completing each step.

Note: If you are running Windows XP, drivers are located on the HomePortal Setup Wizard for Windows XP CD.

Installing the Wireless USB Adapter

The supplied USB cable has a different type of USB connector on each end.

Series A connector. The Series A USB connector plugs into the USB port on your computer.

Series B connector. The Series B USB connector plugs into the back of your USB device, such as the port located on the back of your USB hub.

To install the Wireless USB Adapter, simply connect the adapter to an available USB port on your computer using the supplied USB cable.
