A typical home or small office wireless network topology often looks

like the diagram to the left. For our purposes here, we are only

concerned with the wireless router and the notebook with the

Gigabyte wireless adapter card.

A. On your notebook computer, insert your Gigabyte wireless adapter driver CDROM and install the driver,

following the installation instructions from the menu.

B. Next, insert your Gigabyte wireless adapter into an empty PCMCIA slot in your notebook. If Windows

prompts you with its “Found New Hardware Wizard”, just click . The Gigabyte drivers have

special components which allow you to take full advantage and exercise power over your wireless

network. Depending on your version of Windows, you might be prompted with messages such as “the

hardware you have installed does not have a certificate or not recognized”, just click OK.

A. SmartSetup 3 will open G-EzLink Utility automatically, and you will see the quick start icon in your PC tray

(indicated by the red arrow in the diagram to the right).

You can also find the G-EzLink Utility from Windows Program’s by clicking: Start > Programs >
