Install wua-2340 driver

ennisro · 11-02-2009, 09:22 AM

The OS is XP-Pro on a p4 system on which the onboard nic stopped working some time ago. (I don't know why, but exploring that would be another post.)

For about a year or more I have been using a D-Link WUA-2340 wireless adapter for connection to my home network. But I recently did a fresh reload of XP and now the WUA-2340 is no longer providing a network connection. A little snooping revealed that the problem is my failure to re-install the required driver.

Being organizationally challenged, I have misplaced the original WUA-2340 install CD. So I went to the D-Link site and downloaded a folder containing the XP driver and copied it to a USB flash drive.

My question is how to install the driver into XP? There is a .dll file in the folder but nothing like a 'setup.exe', so I am confused about how to proceed. I would greatly appreciate some guidance on how to do the install.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Go into Device Manager and tell it to update the driver, navigate to the folder with the downloaded drivers.
