802AIN Wireless USB Adapter
Installing on Windows 7
This procedure will detail the steps involved with installing the 802AIN Wireless USB
Adapter on a computer running the Windows 7 operating system.
Important! The Adapter does not install automatically on Windows 7. Initially, Windows
7 recognizes the Adapter as only a USB flash memory drive. Once the Adapter’s driver
has been loaded, it is recognized as an 802.11N Wireless USB Adapter.
To perform the installation:
1. Connect the Adapter to an available USB port. An AutoPlay window (shown
below) appears.
2. Select Run Setup.exe. The setup application begins to run.

3. While the application is running, UAC (User Account Control) windows appear.
Click Yes to run the Atheros Communications software, which installs the 11N
Wireless Tools. When finished, a notification appears in the system tray.
When all installations are complete, a new Wireless Network Connection is listed in the
Network Connections Control Panel screen, as shown below (Device Name: Qwest 11n
USB Adapter).

Notes
•
When the driver is loaded, the flash memory (recognized by the system as a USB
drive) vanishes along with its assigned drive letter.
•
If you inadvertently selected the “Open folder to view files” option in step 2, you
can still install the drivers by double-clicking the “Setup.exe” application
manually, as shown in the figure below.
