| I've received the Gigabyte 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless LAN PCI Router Card, but I can't find drivers for it... |
Although the Gigabyte 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless LAN PCI Router Card plugs into your computer's PCI bus, it does not actually need any form of software or drivers. Plug-and-play in Windows will not detect this card because it does not actually use the PCI bus to send or receive data. Essentially it uses your computer as a mounting bracket and power supply. Windows does not even acknowledge that the card exists.
To connect to the Internet through the Gigabyte 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless LAN PCI Router Card, your system will still require a working wired or wireless Ethernet adaptor, as the gigabyte 802.11g pci router does not act as any sort of network adaptor for your computer. You use an Ethernet cable to connect the router's LAN Ethernet port to your Ethernet adaptor.
The Gigabyte 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless LAN PCI Router Card uses the company's proprietary 'Smart Setup 3' software. Once you have connected your Ethernet adaptor to the router, you open a browser window and enter '192.168.1.254' to connect to the internal control panel of the device. The username is admin, the password is admin.
