USB Wifi Adapter for Desktop PC Windows7 32-Bit

Sep 3, 2017 10:09PM PDT

Dear All,
I have recently bought Terabyte USB Wireless 802.11n 600 mbps from Amazon to use my HCL Desktop PC for internet browsing. My system is Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit 4GB RAM. The installation CD provided with the Terabyte USB Wireless Adapter is not working. What software required to run and use my desktop by using my Mobile Phone’s 4G hotspot tethering.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Shamim78

- How do you mean "the CD is not working"?
- Download the software from the makers site if you can't get it from the CD. Or ask amazon to send you a replacement CD, if it's damaged and you can't copy the contents to a USB-stick on another PC.

If I understand you want to use the phone 4g network so that your pc can access the internet.

Your trying to use the phone as a modem.

You plug your phone into the pc via an usb cable and make the proper settings in the pc.

Post a link to this adapter you bought.
