Insert the Adapter
You can insert you adapter into your computer with or without the desktop dock:
• With a desktop dock. To use the adapter with the desktop dock, place the
adapter into the dock and connect the USB cable to the USB port on your
computer.
When the adapter is placed in the desktop dock, you can fold out the adapter
to its maximum angle for increased WiFi performance.
Note: NETGEAR does not recommend that you use another cable to connect
the adapter to the USB port on your computer. Use the desktop dock with the
attached cable that is supplied in the package. Using another USB cable might
affect the performance and correct functioning of the adapter.
• Without a desktop dock. To use the adapter without the desktop dock,
insert the adapter into a USB port on your computer.
