Easy Setting Up Of USB Network Adapter
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Having been born well before the onset of computers, I am at a disadvantage with regards to preservation and also maintenance for my computer. The first encounter of a serious nature with a PC was with a computer the size of a small house. It performed similar functions the calculator in your mobile phone does - less, in fact.
So not surprisingly, I am among of those who had to learn late in life what to do with a computer. And frankly, the majority of it wasn't too complicated. It helped that I got a job working for a company that produced computers, and fixed them also. My workplace was near to the service department, and I usually took advantage of having that team of twelve reliable men at my beck and call.
However, I work from home now, and when the time arrived to go wireless on my desktop Compaq, I was somewhat confused. My ISP - then Embarq - provided me the necessary USB network adapter, as well as the modem. I was glad to find out that all I had to do along the lines of installation was simply connect the USB wireless network adapter straight into my USB slot.
Of course, I needed to make sure that the wireless antenna was not interrupted in its performance by the fridge, the cordless phone, the beams in the ceiling; in other words, things I could do very little about. In that location, I eventually needed to switch to an internal antenna, which worked better for some reason. I could set up the antenna myself, thus de-mystifying the computer fairly.
I've moved, and this time, have had to install another home office desk, in a different challenging spot. To my computer's dismay, I'm in a basement, wrapped totally by cinder blocks. Our new ISP, who shall stay anonymous at this time, suggested I needed a brand new modem, and my purchase was a Linksys modem.
Luckily for me, the internal network adapter is functioning good with the Linksys, and I have not had to buy a corresponding Linksys USB network adapter, as I believed I might. Emboldened by all this "geek" work, and my new knowledge of computers, I have now figured out how to confidently crack a case, and install a new hard drive. Turns out I'm not too old to learn a few new tricks.
