instAllAtion
Prior to connecting the Wireless G USB Adapter:
• Uninstall any previously loaded versions of the driver and utility.
• Install the software program from the CD. NOTE: The following Windows
XP procedure is similar for Windows 98SE/Me/2000/2003/Vista.
1. Insert the setup CD in the CD-ROM drive and run the setup program.
2. Read the license agreement that displays; click “Yes” to proceed.
3. In Windows XP, a “Microsoft (Windows) Zero Conguration Tool” option
displays. It’s recommended that the alternative “Ralink Conguration
Tool” option be selected, as it features more functions. Click “Next.”

4. To run the adapter at a higher speed, select “Optimize for performance”
to enable the Tx Burst mode. Otherwise, “Optimize for WiFi” sets the
adapter to run with a standard wireless network. Click “Next.”
5. Once the software
installation begins,
a Setup Status
screen is followed
by a prompt to
connect the Wireless
G USB Adapter to
your computer. The
system automatically
detects the adapter.
NOTE: In Windows
Vista, a Found New
Hardware screen
appears (as shown) when the adapter is connected. You can ignore
the message, as it will disappear once installation is complete.
6. When the Finish screen appears, click “Finish.”
confiGUrAtion
The conguration utility — which displays automatically once the adapter
is connected — is a powerful application that helps you congure the
4

adapter and monitor link status and statistics during the communication
process. This adapter will auto-connect to the wireless device that has
the better signal strength and no wireless security setting.
The conguration utility appears as an icon in the Windows system tray
while the adapter is running. You can
open it by double-clicking on the icon.
In Windows XP, there is a “Windows Zero Conguration Tool” option for
setting up wireless clients. If you prefer to use the conguration utility,
there are two ways to switch to it instead of using the Windows tool.
OptiOn 1
1. Right-click the utility icon in the
system tray and select “Use
RaCong as Conguration
utility.”
OptiOn 2
1. Right-click the icon on the left side
of the system tray and select “View
Available Wireless Networks.”
2. Click “Change advanced settings.”
5

3. Uncheck “Use Windows
to congure my wireless
network settings” to
enable the utility for the
adapter.
NOTE: If “Wireless Zero
Conguration Tool” is
enabled, you can only
congure the advanced
settings or check the
link status and statistics
from the conguration
utility of the adapter.
