Getting Started
This User’s Guide provides detailed instructions for installing and
configuring your Adaptec AWN-8030 Ultra Wireless USB Adapter.
See the
Installation Task List on page 3 for an overview of the
installation process.
This Guide also includes a basic overview of wireless and Local

Note: Your Wireless USB Adapter is only one element of your
Wireless LAN (WLAN). Installing this product alone will not
create a wireless network. See
