WLAN and USB adapter Overcoming the XPS One Shortcoming

Hi shonabby,

You may have two wireless cards working in the computer at the same time. However, each one will be managed by its own software utility and one needs to be disabled from 'Device Manager' to get uninterrupted wireless connectivity through the other one. You may disable the onboard wireless adapter from 'Device Manager' by following the steps below:

• Click on “Start” and right click on “Computer”.
• Click on “Manage”.
• Click on “Device Manager”.
• Under “Network adapters”, you will find the wireless card listed.
• Right click and disable it.  

Once done, use the software installation CD to install the drivers/software for the USB adapter. Plug the wireless USB adapter when prompted and follow the onscreen instructions.

Please reply for further clarifications.
