Be sure to find out what letter your CD-ROM drive uses before you begin installing your new product. You will need to know this to properly install your software.

 

Step One: Install the Wireless MAXg USB Adapter and drivers

  1. Insert the USB Adapter Installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the computer you are installing the USB Adapter in. The Installation CD Graphical User Interface (GUI) will appear on your screen. If prompted, select your preferred language.

    Note: If your CD-ROM does not automatically launch, click Windows Start, Run, type D:\setup (if your CD-ROM drive uses a different letter, type that letter in place of “D”), and click OK.

  2. Click Installation.

  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

    Note: You will need to install this Installation CD-ROM on all the PCs on which you plan to install Wireless MAXg USB Adapters.

  4. When prompted, locate an available USB port and fully insert the Wireless MAXg USB Adapter.



    Note: You may receive a “Digital Signature Not Found” or “Windows Logo testing” screen. Click Yes or Continue Anyway. U.S. Robotics has thoroughly tested this driver in conjunction with the supported hardware and has verified compatibility with Windows 2000 and XP. Because U.S. Robotics wants its customers to take full advantage of the network card’s functionality, it has made the drivers available.

  5. When prompted, click Restart to restart your computer.

 

Step Two: Connect to a Wireless Network

  1. After your computer restarts and you are prompted, select Connect to an established wireless router and click Next. You will need to wait while the Wireless MAXg USB Adapter looks for available wireless networks.



  2. A list of available wireless networks will appear on the “Connect to Existing Router or Access Point” screen.



  3. Select the appropriate wireless network and click Next.

    Note: If the wireless network device does not appear in the list, you can enter the name of the network under Network name. One reason the wireless network device may not appear is if Broadcast Network name is disabled in your wireless router or access point. You can also click Detect and your Wireless MAXg USB Adapter will search the area again for available wireless networking devices.

  4. Configuration information for that network will appear. If the network specified is not secure, the “Installation Complete” screen will appear. Click Finish. If you have specific security settings enabled on the wireless network to which you will be connecting, such as WEP or WPA2, you will need to select your security type and click Next. Enter the appropriate security information on the next screen and click Next.
  5. Click Finish. If prompted when the setup is complete, restart your computer.

Congratulations!
