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 manufacture’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.
