Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer You will need a computer that is on the internet and a USB flash drive. On the computer with internet, plug in the USB flash drive and then download the drivers from Netgear's website for this exact model. Then copy those drivers to the USB flash drive. Now you can plug this USB flash drive into the computer you are setting up the WiFi adapter on and install the drivers.

Q: QuestionSo does this plug directly into a USB port on your PC? And then you connect to internet that way?

Asked 5 years ago by BigBadAl95.

• A:Answer Yes !! very easy! you use the CD to install the drive on your computer and then plug in the WIFI connector to a USB port preferably on the back of your PC! When you do, the PC should recognize the added device and install the drive successfully. You can then sign onto your Wifi connection. You have to already have a wifi service to use this item, But it will work successfully in a great range. Even on the older computers running Windows 7 or windows 10,

Q: QuestionI have a PC connected to the internet via ethernet cable. I wasn't aware it doesn't have WIFI option and I bought a printer that is wireless and needs Wifi from my computer. Will this adapter solve the problem? I have WiFi at home, not on this PC though.

Asked 2 years ago by Manola.

• A:Answer You should be able to print from your computer to your PC over your home network (aka internet) even if your PC does not have WiFi. As long as the PC and the printer are connected to the same network (aka home internet), the method used to connect to the network doesn't matter (ie. ethernet cable vs WiFi). All you need to do is make sure the ethernet cable on your PC is connected to your WiFi router. Your PC will be able to find the printer on your home network and still print to it even if the PC is connected via ethernet cable.

Q: QuestionWill this work to enable a Logitech mouse and keyboard with a Dell Latitude E7240 laptop?

Asked 4 years ago by Eric.

• A:Answer I believe this is not the product you are looking for. This is to connect your computer wireless to a router/switch. Most wireless mouse/keyboard come with their own usb adapter, I suggest to check on their specifications about that. Also, in case mouse/keyboard work with Bluetooth, also, this is not what you need. If this were the case, I believe you will need a Bluetooth adapter. I hope this helps.

Q: QuestionIs this compatible to a samsung tv not smart tv.?

Asked 2 years ago by Lai.

• A:Answer I do not believe so. The TV would need an operating system that can acknowledge the WiFi adapter. A non-smart TV would not have the need to. If you are trying to stream movies and tv shows your better bet would be a streaming device like roku or apple tv. Those devices have all the needed elements to stream wirelessly.

Q: QuestionMy computer won't support 500 Mbps. Will this help?

Asked 5 years ago by leftprotected.

• A:Answer Lets start by saying it all depends. First your ISP internet speed (if you are paying for 100Mbps that is all you will get max) Then there is the computer network card. If it is a 10/100 and lets say you have a 200 Mbps internet plan then the network card will limit your speed to 100 Mbps. Now a wireless connection is usually slower than a wired connection, however if you have a modem or wireless router that is 10/100/1000 and the wireless adapter is also 10/100/1000 then you will get higher speeds than your internal wired 10/100 network card. Of course this again depends on the ISP internet plan speed. So as I said at the beginning it all depends.
