After component installation After the component part is inserted and secured into
the motherboard, it will need to be configured on the computer system.
An software program will need to be installed, for the wireless NIC to operate and connect to an internet connection wirelessly.
Its important that the software is a stable version and is made for the wireless NIC brand and model. If a unverified software is used it may not function probably and may change the configuration settings of an current connection.
The model number of the wireless NIC should be printed on the component and on the original box/packaging.
