How to Set Up a Linksys Network Adapter
- 1). Insert the CD provided with the Linksys adapter into the disc drive. If no disc was provided, download the latest device driver for your Linksys adapter from the Linksys support website (see Resources).
- 2). Connect the Linksys adapter to the computer. You can plug a USB adapter into the port while the computer is running; internal PCI or PCI Express cards require the computer to be powered off.
- 3). Connect the adapter to the network. For wired adapters, connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the Linksys adapter. For wireless adapters, click the wireless network icon in the lower-right corner of the screen.
