Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the NetComm Wireless NP930 Dual Band AC WiFi USB Adapter. This user guide illustrates how to set
up and configure your Dual Band AC WiFi USB Adapter.
Overview
The Dual Band AC WiFi USB Adapter connects your laptop or desktop computer to a WiFi network and is perfect for applications
that require a high speed Internet signal. When used in conjunction with a dual band AC WiFi router, you are able to select
whether you connect to a 2.4GHz WiFi network or a 5GHz WiFi network. Having two different networks (dual band), can reduce
the interference between connected devices and the 5GHz network can be dedicated to applications such as online gaming and
streaming HD video and audio, which require the cleanest possible signal.
After attaching this device to your computer, simply scan for wireless networks and enter the relevant security password – no
setup required. Alternatively, simply pair the Dual Band AC WiFi USB Adapter with your router with the WPS button.
