Placing The Usb Adapter Cradle - NETGEAR WG111v3 - 54 Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter Installation Manual

Placing the USB Adapter Cradle

You can attach the wireless USB adapter directly to a USB port on your computer, or use
the USB cable to extend the range and obtain better wireless reception.
To use the USB cable, plastic cradle, and loop-and-hook fastener for better USB adapter
placement on a computer monitor:
1. The wireless USB adapter comes with three black
fasteners. Locate the one with a prickly side, and attach it
to the plastic cradle on the middle of the outside rear.
2. Insert the wireless USB adapter in the plastic cradle, and
connect the USB cable.
3. Place one of the other pieces of loop-and-hook fastener on the side or back of your
monitor near the top for better reception. Then join the pieces of the fastener to attach
the USB adapter in the plastic cradle to the monitor.
