USB 2.0 Adapter WG121.

are prompted with a Windows XP Logo

testing message.

NETGEAR Smart Wireless Settings

Utility configuration utility.

Click Yes to accept this option.

XP wireless network configuration

utility

Note: If the USB port in your computer is not a USB

v2.0 type port but rather a USB v1.1 type port, you

will see a “HI_SPEED USB Device Plugged into

non-I-SPEED USB Hub” message. The WG121 will

work but the USB v1.1 port maximum speed is 14

Mbps whereas the maximum speed of a USB v2.0

port is 480 Mbps. So, when the WG121 is

connected to a USB v1.1 port, the communications

speed will be limited to the maximum of the USB

v1.1 port.
