Actiontec R1520SU Quick Start Manual

Downloading and Installing the USB Driver for the R1520SU

1. When the driver download begins, select "Save" rather than "Run" when prompted.

2. When choosing where the file will be saved, be sure to select a familiar location, like My

Documents or the Desktop. This way when the download has finished, the file(s) is easy to find.

3. The driver download is a Self-Extracting ZIP file. Start it like you would any application.

4. Users with XP may be prompted to “Run” or “Cancel”, select “Run”. After selecting “Run”, the program will prepare to install the drivers on the computer. The default location can be changed, but if it is left at the default, it will create the folder “Router USB Driver”, and install all of the drivers into that folder. The default behavior is to create the folder in the same location as the program it self. So the folder will be in the same location as the downloaded file, making it easy to find.

5. Power up the R1520SU and connect one end of the USB cable to it and the other end to an available USB port on the computer.

6. When the cable is connected, the Hardware Wizard will open. If prompted to use Windows

Update, select “No, not this time.”, and click NEXT.

7. It is very unlikely that Windows would be able to locate the driver on its own, so select

“Install from a List or Specific Location (Advanced)”, and click NEXT.

8. Choose “Search for the best driver in these locations.” for Windows to search. Deselect

“Search Removable Media (floppy, CD-ROM…) and instead select “Include this location in the search:” then click the “Browse” button.

9. Use the “Browse” function to locate the folder with the drivers, and when you have highlighted that folder, click the “OK” button.

10. With the path to the location of the driver files showing in the small text box next to the

“Browse” button, click NEXT.

11. When Windows has completed the installation the driver, click “Finish” to close the Wizard.
