4. Setup and Installation

1. Connect the Adapter: Plug the Baseus FastJoy WiFi Adapter into an available USB 3.0 port on your desktop or laptop. For optimal signal reception and flexible placement, use the provided 1-meter USB extension cable.
2. Driver Installation: The adapter features a built-in wireless driver for one-click installation. For Windows 10/11 systems, the driver should install automatically upon connection. If not, you may need to manually run the installer from the adapter's virtual drive or download it from the official Baseus website.
3. Antenna Adjustment: The external dual antennas are fully adjustable. Adjust their angle (up to 180° on the front and 90° on the side) to optimize signal reception and ensure fast, stable network speed.
4. Indicator Light:
   • Not Lit: Drivers are not installed, or the adapter is not properly connected.
   • Intermittently Flashing: Drivers are installed, but the adapter is not connected to a network.
   • Continuously Flashing: The adapter is operating normally and connected to a network.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Dual-Band Operation

The adapter supports both 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz frequency bands. You can switch between these bands depending on your needs:

• 2.4GHz (up to 600Mbps): Offers stronger penetration and is more resistant to attenuation, making it suitable for long-distance usage and overcoming obstacles like walls.
• 5.8GHz (up to 1200Mbps): Provides higher transmission speeds and strong resistance to interference, ideal for short-distance, high-bandwidth activities like gaming and 4K streaming.

5.2 Operating Modes (2-in-1 Design)

The adapter supports two primary operating modes:

• NIC Mode (WiFi Reception): Connects your computer to an existing WiFi network, providing wireless internet access.
• Hotspot Mode (SoftAP): Allows your computer to act as a WiFi hotspot, sharing its internet connection with other devices like smartphones and tablets. This feature typically uses Windows mobile hotspot functionality or third-party software.

5.3 Advanced Technologies

• TWT (Target Wake Time) Technology: Optimizes network performance and enhances security by reducing device power consumption during communication and allowing devices to enter a sleep state at predefined intervals. This saves power and extends device longevity.
• MU-MIMO Technology: Enables efficient synchronous data transmission to multiple devices simultaneously, saving time compared to inefficient sequential methods. (Requires a MU-MIMO compatible router).
• OFDMA Technology: Significantly improves the average transmission rate for each user in a multi-user environment, greatly reducing latency. This is particularly effective for online gaming. (Requires an OFDMA compatible router).
• CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) Stable Signal: Automatically adjusts the bandwidth mode to avoid interference when other signal interference is detected, ensuring a more stable wireless signal.
• WPA3 Wi-Fi Standard: Offers a higher level of security compared to WPA2, supporting various data encryption modes (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2-PSK, 64/128 WEP) to protect your online data.

6. Maintenance

• Keep the adapter clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the adapter to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Ensure the antennas are not bent or damaged.
• Store the adapter in a cool, dry place when not in use.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 No Internet Connection / Adapter Not Detected

• Check USB Connection: Ensure the adapter is firmly plugged into a functioning USB 3.0 port. Try a different USB port.
• Driver Installation: Verify that the drivers are correctly installed. If the indicator light is not lit, reinstall the drivers.
• Antenna Position: Adjust the antennas to ensure optimal signal reception.
• Router Status: Check if your router is working correctly and broadcasting a WiFi signal.
• Operating System: Ensure your computer is running Windows 10 or Windows 11.

7.2 Slow Internet Speed

• Band Selection: If your router supports 5.8GHz, try connecting to that band for higher speeds, especially if you are close to the router.
• Interference: Move the adapter away from other electronic devices that might cause interference (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones).
• Antenna Adjustment: Re-adjust the antennas to find the best signal strength.
• Driver Update: Ensure you have the latest drivers installed for the adapter.
• Router Distance: While the adapter has strong penetration, very long distances or multiple thick walls can still degrade performance. Consider relocating the adapter or router.

7.3 Indicator Light Behavior

• Not Lit: Indicates no power or driver issue. Check USB connection and driver installation.
• Intermittently Flashing: Adapter is powered and drivers are installed, but it's not connected to a WiFi network. Check available networks and connect.
• Continuously Flashing: Normal operation, indicating active data transmission.
