dLAN network individually.

other actions, using the configuration inter-
face for your dLAN 500 WiFi.

open the directory with the Windows Explor-
er by right-clicking on Start (or the Win-
dows logo) and selecting Explorer from the
context menu. Then start the installation wiz-
ard manually.

performance data related to your dLAN adapter to
