Using the Configuration Utility

If you want to alter the default settings or optimize the performance of the DWL-AB520, D-Link has included a configuration utility to do so.

Note: With its default settings, the DWL-AB520 will associate with D-Link Air/ AirPro products such as the DI-764 (a wireless router), and the DWL-A650 (a wireless adapter for laptops), right out of the box.

Before you use the configuration utility for the DWL-AB520, you must install the drivers and the configuration utility by inserting the CD-ROM that came with the DWL-AB520. (Please see the Quick Installation Guide that came with the product.) After you have completed this installation and restarted your computer, you can access the Configura- tion Utility at any time by clicking on the icon in your taskbar at the bottom right corner of your PC’s screen.

After double-clicking on the icon in the taskbar (shown at right), the following Configuration Utility window will appear:
