Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. If you have a built-in wireless adapter, please disable it in device manager
before installing your D-Link adapter. Also, if you have previously installed another wireless adapter, please make sure any software
is uninstalled.
Getting Started
Before installing your new D-Link wireless adapter, please verify the following:
s 2EMOVE ANY PREVIOUS INSTALLATIONS OF WIRELESS ADAPTERS
s $ISABLE ANY BUILT IN WIRELESS ADAPTERS
s 6ERIFY THE SETTINGS SUCH AS THE 33)$ AND SECURITY SETTINGS OF THE NETWORKS YOU WANT TO CONNECT TO
Remove Existing Installations
)F YOUVE INSTALLED A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURES ADAPTER OR A DIFFERENT MODEL $ ,INK ADAPTER MAKE SURE THE SOFTWARE IS UNINSTALLED BEFORE
installing the new software. Some utilities may cause a conflict with the new software. If you plan to use multiple adapters at different
times, make sure the utilities are not set to load when your computer boots up. WindowsÂŽ XP and Vista users may use the built-in
wireless utility for all adapters.
To remove any old software:
Windows® XP/Vista™ users: Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.

From the desktop, right-click on the My Computer icon and select Properties.
Click the Hardware tab and then click Device Manager. Scroll down the list and
click the + sign to the left of Network Adapters.
Right-click the adapter you would like to disable and select Disable.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link wireless adapter lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating
range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that
the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background
2& RADIO FREQUENCY NOISE IN YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS 4HE KEY TO MAXIMIZING WIRELESS RANGE IS TO FOLLOW THESE BASIC GUIDELINES
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link adapter and other network devices to a minimum - each
WALL OR CEILING CAN REDUCE YOUR ADAPTERS RANGE FROM   FEET   METERS 0OSITION YOUR DEVICES SO THAT THE NUMBER
OF WALLS OR CEILINGS IS MINIMIZED
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a
45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters)
thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for
better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range.
Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open
doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le
cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF
noise.
5 )F YOU ARE USING '(Z CORDLESS PHONES OR 8  WIRELESS PRODUCTS SUCH AS CEILING FANS LIGHTS AND HOME SECURITY
SYSTEMS YOUR WIRELESS CONNECTION MAY DEGRADE DRAMATICALLY OR DROP COMPLETELY -AKE SURE YOUR '(Z PHONE
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in
use.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop
systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use
servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device used to provide this
link.

What is Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-FiÂŽ technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi
uses radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home
or ofce network.
Why D-Link Wireless?
D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products.
D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build
your network.
How does wireless work?
Wireless works similar to how cordless phone work, through radio signals to transmit data from one point A to point
" "UT WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY HAS RESTRICTIONS AS TO HOW YOU CAN ACCESS THE NETWORK 9OU MUST BE WITHIN THE WIRELESS
network range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks Wireless
Local Area Network (WLAN), and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access
point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an
indoor access point, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to
30 miles to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports,
golf courses, and many other outdoor venues.
Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
D-Link DWA-160 User Manual

Appendix A - Wireless Basics
BluetoothÂŽ is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a
range up to 30 feet away.
#OMPARED TO 7,!. THE SPEED AND WIRELESS OPERATION RANGE ARE BOTH LESS THAN 7,!. BUT IN RETURN IT DOESNT USE
nearly as much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops,
speakers, and other devices that operate on batteries.

Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or the ofce. People like the freedom of mobility and
ITS BECOMING SO POPULAR THAT MORE AND MORE PUBLIC FACILITIES NOW PROVIDE WIRELESS ACCESS TO ATTRACT PEOPLE 4HE
wireless connection in public places is usually called “hotspots”.
Using a D-Link USB Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to the Internet from remote
locations like: Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.
7IRELESS NETWORKS ARE EASY TO SETUP BUT IF YOURE INSTALLING IT FOR THE lRST TIME IT COULD BE QUITE A TASK NOT KNOWING
WHERE TO START 4HATS WHY WEVE PUT TOGETHER A FEW SETUP STEPS AND TIPS TO HELP YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS OF SETTING
up a wireless network.
Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize your router or Access Point
-AKE SURE YOU PLACE THE ROUTERACCESS POINT IN A CENTRALIZED LOCATION WITHIN YOUR NETWORK FOR THE BEST PERFORMANCE
Try to place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your
home. If you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the
router/access point. This can signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate
on the same frequency.

$ONT LET YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS OR INTRUDERS CONNECT TO YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK 3ECURE YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK BY
turning on WPA™/WPA2™ security features on the router. Refer to the product manual for detailed information on how
to set it up.
Wireless Modes
There are basically two modes of networking:
s Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
s Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network adapters
on each computer. Unfortunately 802.11a/g/n products such as the DWA-160 do not support ad-hoc mode.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the wireless
router or access point.
An Ad-Hoc* network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless USB Adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc mode
to communicate.
* Not supported with the DWA-160.
