The D-Link DWA131 E1 dongle is not intended to

Point-to-Point communication or Infrastructure
wireless communication.
Recommendations
1. Make sure you do not have two D-Link wire-
less dongles connected to the computer.
2. Make sure you are not trying to connect the
computer to your dealership network using
the DWA131 E1 dongle.

VCI Manager displays yellow
icon over Opel-Vauxhall-VCI
after previous use
There may be instances when Windows does
not recognize the installation of the DWA131
E1 wireless adapter. In these cases, Windows
may create a new wireless profile instead
of using the existing one already stored on
the computer. The yellow icon displayed
over your Opel-Vauxhall-VCI instructs you to
plug in the USB connecting cable between
Opel-Vauxhall-VCI and the computer.
Recommendations
¶
Unplug and then re-install your wireless
adapter. Windows will attempt to recognize
the wireless adapter. If successful, the yellow
icon will disappear and Opel-Vauxhall-VCI will
be ready for wireless Point-to-Point commu-
nication.
