1. How do I install the drivers for my DFW-500? (Back to top)
The DFW-500 uses the driver built-into Windows operating system or downloads drivers from the Internet. The method it takes
varies according to the type of Internet connection you have. Before
installing the DFW-500, verify that you can connect to the Internet either
through a dial-up modem connection or through a Cable modem or DSL
connection.
Power the computer off, install the DFW-500 and power the computer back
on. The DFW-500 card automatically downloads drivers from the Internet. If
you are using a dial-up connection the DFW-500 dials an 800 number just
like you would if you were making a phone call. Then it downloads the
drivers. The screen may appear to be frozen for several minutes. This is
normal. If you have a DSL modem or a cable modem, the DFW-500 card
downloads the drivers directly from Microsoft.
A second alternative is to download the drivers directly from D-Link.
