Installation

This section will walk you through the installation process. If you have a built-in wireless adapter, please disable it in device manager before installing your D-Link adapter. Also, if you have previously installed another wireless adapter, please make sure any software is uninstalled.

Getting Started

Before installing your new D-Link wireless adapter, please verify the following:

Remove any previous installations of wireless adapters

Disable any built-in wireless adapters

Verify the settings such as the SSID and security settings of the network(s) you want to connect to

Remove Existing Installations

If you’ve installed a different manufacturer’s adapter or a different model D-Link adapter, make sure the software is uninstalled before installing the new software. Some utilities may cause a conflict with the new software. If you plan to use multiple adapters at different times, make sure the utilities are not set to load when your computer boots up. Windows® XP users may use the built-in wireless utility for all adapters.

To remove any old software:

Windows® XP users: Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.

Windows® 2000 users: Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
