2. A list of available Wi-Fi networks will appear.
3. Select your desired network and click "Connect".
4. If prompted, enter the network security key (password) and click "Next" or "OK".
5. Your computer should now be connected to the Wi-Fi network.

5.3 Dual-Band Operation (2.4GHz vs 5GHz)

Your WONLINK adapter supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands. Each band has distinct characteristics:

• 2.4 GHz: Offers wider coverage and better penetration through walls, but typically provides lower speeds and is more susceptible to interference from other devices (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones).
• 5 GHz: Provides higher speeds and less interference, ideal for bandwidth-intensive activities like streaming and gaming. However, its range is shorter and it's less effective at penetrating obstacles.

Most modern routers broadcast both bands, often with different network names (SSIDs), e.g., "MyWiFi_2.4GHz" and "MyWiFi_5GHz". Choose the band that best suits your needs based on your distance from the router and activity.

This image visually represents the difference between 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. The 2.4GHz band is shown with a wider, longer reach, while the 5GHz band is depicted as faster but with a shorter, more direct range, highlighting the trade-offs between coverage and speed.

6. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your WONLINK adapter, please follow these guidelines:

• Temperature and Humidity: Store and operate the adapter in a dry environment within normal room temperature ranges. Avoid extreme heat, cold, or high humidity.
