Troubleshooting
1. If I’ve lost my CD what can I do?
The CD contains software drivers and manual which can be obtained from D-Link (see
Technical Support below). Windows 2000, XP, Vista in most cases will automatically
install the correct drivers.
2. If I’ve forgotten my wireless encryption key?

Modem Router. If you are unable to obtain your encryption key, the only solution would
be to re-configure your Access Point/Router to use a new encryption key. Please
contact your Wireless Access Point/Router/DSL Modem Router manufacturer.
