Frequently Asked Questions - APPUSB150NANO Approx

Is the APPUSB150NANO adapter compatible with Windows 10?

The user manual indicates compatibility with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7 (32/64-bit), as well as Linux and Mac OS X. Under Windows 10, it may work with generic drivers or those from the CD, but Approx does not provide official support. Test the adapter; if you encounter issues, use compatibility mode or search for updated drivers online.

How to install the adapter on Windows 7?

First insert the provided CD, run the Setup.exe program and follow the instructions. Select the language, accept the terms, then install the drivers. Restart the computer when prompted. Then plug the adapter into a USB port. When the 'New Hardware Found' wizard appears, click 'No, not this time' and let Windows complete the installation automatically.

What to do if my computer does not detect the adapter?

Check that the driver is properly installed. Try another USB port, preferably directly on the motherboard (avoid hubs). On Windows, open Device Manager to see if the adapter appears with an exclamation mark. If so, right-click and manually update the driver by pointing to the CD folder. Restart the computer.

What is the maximum range of the APPUSB150NANO?

The typical range is about 30 meters indoors and 100 meters outdoors, but this depends on obstacles (walls, interference). The adapter uses the 2.4 GHz band with standard power. To improve range, move closer to the router or reduce obstacles.

How to use the WPS button?

Make sure your router supports WPS. Press the WPS button on the router, then within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the adapter (usually located on the side). The connection will be made automatically with a randomly generated security key. Consult the router manual for the exact procedure.

What security modes are supported?

The adapter supports WEP 64/128-bit, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK encryption, as well as TKIP and AES protocols. For optimal security, use WPA2-AES. Configure the security in Windows wireless connection properties or via the provided software.

Can I use this adapter with a 5 GHz router?

No, the APPUSB150NANO works only on the 2.4 GHz band. It is not compatible with 5 GHz networks. If your router broadcasts on both bands, connect to the 2.4 GHz network (often named with '2.4G' or without suffix).

How to clean the adapter?

Unplug the adapter before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the casing. Do not use liquid products, aerosols, or solvents. Avoid touching the USB contacts. Store it in a dry, dust-free place.

Is the adapter repairable or are there spare parts?

The APPUSB150NANO is a sealed device with no user-replaceable parts. In case of failure, it is recommended to contact Approx after-sales service or replace the adapter. Under warranty, contact your retailer. For repair information, visit the website www.approx.es.

How to find the complete user manual for the APPUSB150NANO?

The manual is available for free on notice-facile.com in PDF format. You can download it directly from the product page. If the desired language is not available, use the translation option by providing your email. The user guide is also included on the CD provided with the adapter.
