What This Product Does
The D-Link DWA-566 is an 802.11n client device that delivers unrivaled wireless
performance for your desktop computer. Once connected, access your wireless
network's high-speed Internet connection while sharing photos, files, music,
video, printers, and storage.
Before You Begin
Before installing your new D-Link wireless adapter, please verify the following:
• Remove any previous installations of wireless adapters.
• Disable any built-in wireless adapters.
• Verify the settings such as the wireless network name (SSID) and security
settings of the network(s) you want to connect to.
Note: If you've installed a different manufacturer's adapter or a different model
D-Link adapter, make sure the software is uninstalled before installing the new
software. Some utilities may cause a conflict with the new software. Windows® 7,
Windows Vista® and XP users may use the built-in wireless utility.
Installation
Step 1:
Please turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the computer.
Insert your Wireless Desktop Adapter into an available PCI Express slot inside
your computer.
Note: Before installing, write down the serial number and hardware revision (e.g.
A1) in case you need to contact technical support.
Step 2:
Once inserted, close the case and insert the power cable back into the
computer. Turn on your computer and wait for Windows® to boot up. Insert the
DWA-566 Driver CD into the CD-ROM drive. If the CD Autorun function does not
automatically start on your computer, go to Start > Run. In the run box type
"D:\autorun.exe" (where D: represents the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive)
and click OK. When the autorun screen appears, click Install and follow the
on-screen instructions to install the wireless adapter drivers and software.
Note: If the Found New Hardware screen appears, click Cancel.
Step 3:
After installation, the D-Link DWA-566 uses the Wireless Connection Manager as
the management software. The manager provides the user with an easy interface
to change any settings related to the wireless adapter. Clicking on the Wireless
Connection Manager icon on the desktop will start the Configuration.
