Как установить adapter wlan?

Hello Emilia,

Thank you for posting your question on our forum.

To install a WLAN (wireless) adapter, follow these general steps depending on the type of adapter (USB or PCI/PCIe):

For USB Wireless Adapters:

Plug in the Adapter:

• Simply insert the USB Wi-Fi adapter into an available USB port on your computer while it is powered on.

Automatic Driver Installation:

• Windows often detects the new hardware and installs drivers automatically by connecting to the internet.
• If the driver does not install automatically, Windows may prompt you to allow Windows Update to find the appropriate driver.

We recommend you to use Auslogics Driver Updater 2 to find and update the required driver.

Manual Driver Installation (if needed):

• Download the latest driver from the adapter manufacturer's website and extract it.
• Open Device Manager (Right-click Start > Device Manager).
• Find your wireless adapter (may appear under "Other devices" if drivers are missing).
• Right-click, choose "Update driver," then select "Browse my computer" and point to the driver folder containing the .inf file.

Connect to Wi-Fi Network:

• After driver setup, click the network icon in the system tray, select your wireless network, enter the password, and connect.

For PCI or PCIe Wireless Adapters (Internal Cards):

Power Down and Unplug:

• Turn off your computer and unplug it from the power source.

Open Case and Insert Card:

• Open your PC case.
• Insert the wireless card securely into an available PCI or PCIe slot on the motherboard.

Close Case and Power On:

• Close the computer case and reconnect all cables.
• Power on your computer.

Install Drivers:

• Windows may auto-install the drivers if connected to the internet.
• Otherwise, manually install the drivers as described in the USB adapter section above, using the Device Manager method.

Connect to Wi-Fi:

• Once the adapter is installed and working, connect to your Wi-Fi network via the network icon.

Additional Tips:

• For best results, ensure your computer is connected to the internet via Ethernet cable during installation to allow Windows Update to fetch drivers.
• If automatic installation fails, download the latest drivers from the adapter manufacturer's official website.
• If installing legacy adapters on very old versions of Windows (like XP or 2000), you might need to install proprietary wireless client software that comes with the adapter.
• Always ground yourself to avoid static damage when installing PCI cards inside the computer.
