5.Using the Configuration Utility

If you want to alter the default settings or optimize the performance of the DWL-510, D-Link has included a configuration utility to do so.

Note: With its default settings, the DWL-510 will associate with D-Link Air / AirPlus products such as the DI-614+ (a wireless router), and the DWL-650 (a wireless Cardbus adapter), right out of the box.

Before you use the configuration utility for the DWL-510, you must install the drivers and the configuration utility by inserting the CD-ROM that came with the DWL-510. (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 Configuration Utility at any time by clicking on the icon in your taskbar at the bottom right corner of your PC’s screen.

•Double-click on the Configuration Utility icon shown on the right.

Note: If the utility icon does not appear, double-click on the shortcut icon that has been created on your desktop workspace (shown here).

After double-clicking on the icon, the D-Link Air DWL-510 Utility window will appear as shown on the following page.
