Yes !! very easy! you use the CD to install the drive on your computer and then plug in the WIFI connector to a USB port preferably on the back of your PC!
When you do, the PC should recognize the added device and install the drive successfully. You can then sign onto your Wifi connection.
You have to already have a wifi service to use this item, But it will work successfully in a great range. Even on the older computers running Windows 7 or windows 10,

Exactly. You must first install a driver (CD ROM provided), following the instructions. Once done, when you click on the network icon usually in the bottom right toolbar, you will see a new Wireless Network Connection. Listed below it are all the available wireless networks this new adapter can connect to. You can choose one by clicking and connecting, and entering the login/password security information for that network. Most laptops will already have a built-in wireless network adapter, so you will see that listed as well. Multiple adapters can each be connected to a network, but you can also have a wired network connection (using an Ethernet cable).

Yup. That's how it works. Make sure to read the manual before plugging it in, in order to not make a mess with drivers.

That’s the concept. But if you don’t have a disc reader on your computer or a subscription to WinZip it useless. As I have found.

Yep. Give it a USB port & it gives you wireless LAN access.

This plugs directly in the USB port. I have ports and both the front and back on my PC and it works with all of them. You must use the CD that comes with and install the driver/software first before plugging in the device. Once you have done that its pretty much plug-in-play. You can connect to the internet after that.

This is not wifi service. You would have to have wifi service established and then this will allow you to connect to that service.

You also have to have wifi ability on your PC or laptop for this to work.
