5.Using the Configuration Utility

If you want to alter the default settings or optimize the performance of the DWL-520+, D-Link has included a configuration utility to do so.

Note: Out of the box, with its default settings, the DWL-520+ will associate with D-Link AirPlus wireless routers and access points (e.g., DI-614+, DWL-900AP+.)

After the computer restarts, the configuration utility will automatically start and the utility icon will appear in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (systray).
