Installation with Custom Setup
This chapter explains custom installation for your Wireless-N USB Adapter. With custom setup
you can specify where the files are installed. You can also choose whether or not you want to
install the Smart Wizard.
What You Need Before You Begin
To install the wireless-N USB adapter, you need:
• A PC with a Pentium
300 MHz or higher compatible processor with an available USB port.
• A CD drive.
• 10 Mbytes of free hard disk space.
• Windows7, Vista, Windows XP Home, or Windows XP Professional. Some versions of
Windows ask for the original Windows operating system installation files to complete the
installation of the WNA3100 v1 driver software.
Note: For help with express installation, see the Installation Guide for the Wireless-N 300
USB Adapter WNA3100.
Note: The maximum speed of a USB v2.0 port is 480 Mbps. If your computer has a
USB v1.1 port, the wireless-N USB adapter is limited to that port’s maximum
speed, which is 14 Mbps.
Note: Windows XP users must install SP2 or install the KB822603 hot fix (update),
which fixes the USB 2.0 host controller driver. Go to this link to install the hot
fix: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/
