The best location for your adapter is on top of your computer’s monitor.
Placing
the Adapter on your desktop is acceptable, however, avoid placing the
Adapter
near metal objects such as a computer case or speakers. Any object
that is metal
has the ability to block the radio signals from the Adapter.

Installing your Adapter is done in three easy steps:
1. Install the software FIRST. If you connect your Adapter to your PC
before
you install the software, it will not work until you install the software.

be on
your desktop. To open the Monitor Utility, double-click on this icon.

screens) will

office, the Adapter will automatically attempt to connect to your wireless
network. In most cases, the Adapter will be able to connect to your
network
automatically. If you are using encryption, you will have to set the
encryption settings on your wireless router or access point before the
Adapter can successfully connect to your wireless network. For
