Section 1 - Product Overview

Introduction

The DWA-131 Wireless N Nano USB Adapter is a convenient wireless connectivity solution for desktop or notebook PCs. Instead

of stringing Ethernet cables to your PC or dismantling your desktop computer case, the DWA-131 can enable 802.11n wireless

connectivity by simply utilizing your desktop or notebook PC’s USB port.

Powered by Wireless N technology, the DWA-131 provides a faster wireless connection and superior reception than 802.11g*.

The DWA-131 is designed for use in bigger homes and for those that demand higher bandwidth networking. Maximize wireless

performance by connecting this USB Adapter to a Wireless N router and stay connected from virtually anywhere in the home.

This USB Adapter supports WPA and WPA2 encryption to prevent outside intrusion and protect your personal information

from being exposed.

D-Link’s SoftAP feature allows the DWA-131 to act as an access point, allowing you to share your Internet connection wirelessly

with other devices, or extend the coverage of an existing network.

Compact in size, robust in speed the DWA-131 Wireless N Nano USB Adapter is great for travel and a convenient solution

for providing high performance wireless connectivity to your desktop or notebook PC. Enjoy the many benets of wireless

connectivity today!

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and

environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput

rate. Environmental conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.

Section 2 - Installation

Getting Started

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.

Before installing your new D-Link wireless adapter, please verify the following:

• Remove any previous installations of wireless adapters

• Disable any built-in wireless adapters

• Verify the settings such as the SSID and security settings of the network(s) you want to connect to

Remove Existing Installations

If you’ve installed a dierent manufacturer’s adapter or a dierent model D-Link adapter, make sure the software is uninstalled

before installing the new software. Some utilities may cause a conict with the new software. If you plan to use multiple

adapters at dierent times, make sure the utilities are not set to load when your computer boots up. Windows® 7, Vista® and

XP users may use the built-in wireless utility for all adapters.

To remove any old software:

Windows® 7/8 users: Click Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.

Windows XP/Vista® users: Click Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.

Disable Other Wireless Adapters

Most newer laptops may include a built-in wireless adapter. To prevent any

conicts with the D-Link wireless adapter, it is recommended to disable

the wireless adapter (as well as any unused Ethernet adapters).

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 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 RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The 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 adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position 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. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home

security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4

GHz 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.
