2Wire Wireless USB Adapter
The Wireless USB Adapter is a wireless networking device that is connected to a USB port on your
computer using a USB cable. Using the Wireless USB Adapter, you can communicate with one or more
computers that are equipped with wireless adapters. Where a standard Ethernet card requires a cable
connection to a hub or a patch panel, wireless networking provides the same connectivity without the
wires. Expanding or redesigning your network is easy, and unlike cabled Ethernet, the Wireless USB
Adapter allows users to roam throughout the network while remaining connected to the LAN.
Follow these steps to install the Wireless USB Adapter:
Step 1 - Install the Wireless USB Adapter.
Step 2 -Install the drivers.
Step 3 - Reboot your computer so Windows recognizes the adapter.
The following sections give you detailed instructions for completing each step.

The supplied USB cable has a different type of USB connector on each end.
Series A connector. The Series A USB connector plugs into the USB port on your computer.
Series B connector. The Series B USB connector plugs
