Insert the Wireless Adapter into your computer, it should then ask you to install the drivers. Insert the CD that came with the adapter and allow Windows to install the drivers from it. If the adapter asks if you would like to use the windows wireless wizard, or the item's own software please choose the windows option because that is what will be laid out in this section. Once the driver is installed you may need to reboot your computer, after this windows should detect a new wireless network and will display an icon in the task-bar. Now you will need to configure it. When you see the 'Wireless networks detected' message (as shown above) click the message. Otherwise if you don't see this message, right click the wireless network icon in the bottom right corner of your screen, and then click 'View Available Wireless Networks'. The Wireless Network Connection window will appear and should list your wireless network. If it does not then click the 'refresh network list' button to the left. Once your network shows, select it and click connect. You should now be asked to enter a key, this is the encryption key that you wrote down earlier. Click connect again. A window will show the progress of your computer as it connects to your network. After it finishes, you can close the Wireless Network Connection window. If the connection fails, you may not have set the encryption correctly. Check settings by clicking on 'Change Advanced Settings' and selecting the Wireless Networks tab. Select the network and click properties, if the network is not listed you can add it here. Configure the wireless key to match the router settings and once this has been done you should be able to connect to the internet and start surfing away!
