Installation and start-up
☞
First, install the software provided, before connecting the WLAN adaptor to the computer.
Otherwise, Windows will not fi nd the driver on the enclosed CD.
• Insert the enclosed CD in an appropriate drive on your computer. If the installation does not start automati-
cally, open the CD's content e.g. with Windows fi le manager and start the installation program manually. At
the time these operating instructions were created, the user needed to start the installation by running the
fi le „autorun.exe" from the main directory on the CD.
• To install the drivers and software, click on "Driver Installation" in the menu.
If there are any queries from the Windows user account control, they must be confi rmed with „Yes".
• Follow all of the instructions.
• Restarting is required after fi nishing the installation. Perform the restart.
• When the rebooting is completed, connect the USB stick to a free USB port on your computer. Follow the
further instructions.
• Windows displays a new icon in the task bar, which you can use to open the confi guration software.
Confi guration
• The confi guration can either be done via WPS or manually using the confi guration software.
• In order to carry out the confi guration with WPS, your WLAN router must support WPS of course. For this
purpose, proceed as follows:
First, press the WPS button on your WLAN router. Normally, the status is indicated via a blinking LED.
Observe the operating instructions for your WLAN router.
When WPS is active, press the small button on the front side of the stick for approx. 3 seconds. The
software now automatically opens a small window displaying the progress.
Once the connection has been established, the window will close automatically. The icon in the task bar of

Windows now shows the reception strength via the green bars.
The confi guration is therefore complete.
• If you wish to perform the confi guration manually, simply click on the task bar icon with the left mouse key.
Version 04/12
Then click on the tab "Available network" at the top.
The software searches automatically for available WLAN networks and then lists them.
Click on the desired WLAN using the mouse and then on "Add to profi le".
The correct encryption will be selected automatically. Enter the WLAN key and confi rm with „OK".
The confi guration is now complete. The display in the software as well as the task bar icon now show the
reception strength again.
• If a DHCP server runs in your network, an IP address is now assigned automatically to the connection.
• If your WLAN router is online, it should now be possible to connect to the Internet.
Tips & Notes
• WLAN network connections should be encoded to avoid unauthorised access, e.g. to your WLAN router.
You should preferably use the „WPA2" encryption.
• The indicated maximum data transfer rate (e.g. 54MBit for 802.11b/g, which means about 6.5MByte/s) is
never acquired in reality. This is due to different transfer mode systems, transmission errors, the distance
between WLAN stations, etc. The same applies to 802.11n (with this WLAN adaptor, theoretically max.
300 MBit).
• The wireless coverage depends on the ambient conditions, and can be restricted by:
- High-frequency interference of all types (computers, monitors, mobile phones)
- Buildings of all types and vegetation
- Conducting metals that are close to or inside the device, e.g. cables, radiators, metallised insulated glass
panes, reinforced concrete fl oors, etc.
- Infl uences on the aerial's transmission characteristics, due to the distance of the transmitter or receiver
from conducting areas or objects (including the human body or fl oor).
- Broadband interference in urban areas that reduces the signal-to-noise ratio; the signal is not recognised
because of the „noise"
- Irradiation from insuffi ciently shielded electronic devices, e.g. computers operated openly, or similar.
- Movements of the receiver/transmitter
- Too short a distance from the receiver/transmitter
Maintenance and Cleaning
The product does not require any maintenance and should never be disassembled for any reason.
Prior to cleaning the device, remove the USB cable (all network connections will stop functioning).
Only use a dry soft cloth for cleaning.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents as these can cause discolouration.
Do not press too strongly on the surface when cleaning, to prevent scratch marks.
