Chapter 1: Driver Installation

Note:

1. A dual-band wireless ac router is required if you want to establish high speed 5G connection.
2. While the range of 5GHz is typically less than 2. 4GHz, but the 5GHz band is significantly less congested and faster. So if your dongle is near your router, you will get a stronger signal with lightning speed on the 5GHz band. But if the distance between the dongle and router is too long, you may have a better signal on the 2.4GHZ band. Software installation is basically the same for Windows/Linux/Mac OS. In the following, we will take installation in Windows XP as an example. Please install the driver first before plugging the adapter into your PC.

2. In case your PC has an integrated WiFi adapter, please turn it off before installing the driver for the USB Wifi adapter. Otherwise, you will not know which WiFi adapter is working for you and these WiFi adapters may cause conflict with each other.

7. The reasons why the wireless usb adapter is damaged after a period of time are insufficient current supply and weak data signal transmission. If the adapter works under such conditions, you may encounter such problems, like unstable signal, slow speed, chipset gets hot, or intermittent connection. And the chipset will die soon.

8. The below situations may result in insufficient current supply and weak data signal transmission:
   ■ The wifi adapter is connecting to an external usb hub instead of connecting directly to the computer.
   ■ The wifi adapter is plugged into the USB interface on the front of the desktop computer.(The front USB interface is connected from the computer motherboard, there will be a signal loss. Thus,to extend the service life of a wifi adapter, please plug it into the computer directly instead of connecting to an external USB HUB. If using on a desktop computer, please plug it into the USB interface on the back of the computer chassis.
