    Using the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector

    Please Note: You must start Windows, and insert the enclosed CD-ROM that came with the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, into the PC.

    1. When the USB Connector setup window appears, click OK to begin the installation process.

      If the setup window doesn't appear, click the 'Start' button, choose 'Run', then click on the 'Browse' button. Click on the CD drive that the setup disc is in, then locate the Setup.EXE file and double-click it.

    2. Select the language, then click OK. The software will begin to install.

      Note: If you receive the error, "You are not connected to the internet", this means that the setup utility is not able to detect an active internet connection. If you are using a laptop computer with Wi-Fi access, you must first connect to the internet before you can finish setup.

    3. When directed to, insert the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector into any open USB slot on the PC. USB ports attached to a monitor or keyboard will not work.

      If the warning, "Hi-speed USB device plugged into non-hi-speed USB hub" appears, click OK. This just means the USB port is an older 1.1 USB port version.
