Installing JUST the Wireless MAXg USB Adapter
During the Installation procedure, you may be prompted for your Windows Operating
system CD-ROM. Make sure you have it available in case you need it.
For the most updated information, visit: http://www.usr.com/support
Be sure to find out what letter your CD-ROM drive uses before you begin installing your
new product. You will need to know this to properly install your software.
Step One: Install the Wireless MAXg USB Adapter and drivers
A. Insert the USB Adapter Installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the
computer you are installing the USB Adapter in. The Installation CD Graphical
User Interface (GUI) will appear on your screen. If prompted, select your
preferred language.
Note: If your CD-ROM does not automatically launch, click Windows Start, Run,
type D:\setup (if your CD-ROM drive uses a different letter, type that letter in
place of “D”), and click OK.
B. Click Installation.
Note: You may receive a “Digital Signature Not Found” or “Windows Logo testing”
screen. Click Yes or Continue Anyway. U.S. Robotics has thoroughly tested this
driver in conjunction with the supported hardware and has verified compatibility
with Windows 2000, Me, and XP. Because U.S. Robotics wants its customers to
take full advantage of the network card’s functionality, it has made the drivers
available.
C. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: You will need to install this Installation CD-ROM on all the PCs on which you

or Access Point” screen.

C. Select the appropriate wireless network and click Next.
Note: If the wireless network device does not appear in the list, you can enter the
name of the network under Network name. One reason the wireless network
device may not appear is if Broadcast Network name is disabled in your wireless
router or access point. You can also click Detect and your Wireless MAXg USB
Adapter will search the area again for available wireless networking devices.
D. Configuration information for that network will appear. If the network specified is
not secure, the “Installation Complete” screen will appear. Click Finish. If you
have specific security settings enabled on the wireless network to which you will
be connecting, such as WEP or WPA2, you will need to select your security type
and click Next. Enter the appropriate security information on the next screen and
