What You Need Before You Begin

Verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements and identify the wireless network settings of the wireless local area network (WLAN) where you will connect before you install and connect your wireless-N USB adapter.

Verify System Requirements

Before installing the wireless-N USB adapter, make sure that these minimum requirements have been met:

You must have a PC with a Pentium 300 MHz or higher compatible processor with an available USB 2.0 or 1.1 port.

Note: The maximum speed of a USB v2.0 port is 480 Mbps. If your computer has a USB v1.1 port, the wireless-N USB adapter is limited to that port’s maximum

speed, which is 14 Mbps.

A CD drive.

10 Mbytes of free hard disk space.

Vista, Windows XP Home, or Windows XP Professional. Some versions of Windows ask for the original Windows operating system installation files to complete the installation of the WNDA3100v2 driver software.

Note: Windows XP users must install SP2 or install the KB822603 hot fix (update), which fixes the USB 2.0 host controller driver. Go to the following link to

install the hot fix: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID= 733dd867-56a0-4956-b7fe-e85b688b7f86

Observe Wireless Location and Range Guidelines

For best performance, place the wireless-N USB adapter at least 4 feet (over 1 meter) away from the wireless router or access point.
