1. By George Smith-Moore Installation of a wireless NIC
2. Installation of the wireless NIC Once the wireless NIC has
been physically installed, you must install the software, If you do
not, the device may not work!
3. Installing the Wireless NICs software. If the computer
cannot connect to the internet, install the driver through the disk
provided. Otherwise use the driver on the internet. This is due to
the fact that the manufacturers website would produce the latest
rivers without 'bug'
4. Click the setup application! When using the installation
disk, click the setup.exe, this allows the program to install all
of the necessary drivers.
5. Installing the Wireless NIC software Now that the
application has launched, click the corresponding model (the one
you have installed, if you are not sure, it will say on the
box)
6. Install Shield Wizard Once you have selected your model, the
install shield wizard will launch. You can install the driver only
but the configuration utility is an add-on which is recommended by
TP-LINK
7. File location You can change the file location but for
simplicity I would recommend that you let the program create and
install to the default folder. Changing the file location does not
produce many benefits, yet it can be a way to0 better manage the
system. Once you have chosen the file location press, next and then
install.
8. Installation Now that the program is installing, please wait
until it has finished.
9. Installation complete! Now that the installation of the
driver is complete, press finish. Now the program can be loaded
up.
10. TP-LINK GUI Once the application has booted up, you can use
it to connect to the internet. Connecting to the internet is shown
above, first choose your network, secondly type in the password if
required, thirdly off you go!
11. Checking the internet. Once the connection has finished you
get a pop-up message as shown. If you click on the status tab once
connected, it will give you information about the network and your
connection.
12. Check the driver. To check if the driver has installed
correctly, you can check in the device manager. Under the tab
network adapters, if the TP-LINK adapter is shown (without an
exclamation mark next to the image), then it has installed
correctly.
13. Benefits A clear benefit of installing the drivers is that
you can now use the internet. Another benefit of installing the
drivers, is the accompanying software, this is an easy to read
piece of equipment to connect and monitor the internet.
