Before I install the supplied CD software, do I need to turn off my laptop's internal Wi-Fi connection? What else is needed?

It is better to do that ... I am not sure though why you need it if your laptop built-in wifi is working. If you are gonna use it it is better to stick to using it the time to avoid IP issues.

The paperwork that came with it reflected up through Windows 8. Pretty easy to install using the minidisk that came with it. Nothing to uninstall if your PC has Wi-Fi already installed, then it would be unnecessary, unless you are looking for more speed.

No the CD isn't required. But you should find out what firmware version your internet provider is using so you can upgrade it if necessary.

No. You need a Wifi router connected to the internet. Your DVD will interface with the router. This device interfaces to a audio receiver without Wifi through a USB port and interfaces to the Wifi router.

I used a Dell desktop with Windows 7. It did not have a wifi or anything like it. I just plugged the Long Range into the USB port and it loaded drivers automatically. It considered the Long Range a wifi card and just took care of itself. I did not use the cd with programs that came with it.

Yes, it has to install special software. Works like a charm. Had to turn off Windows Firewall during installation - just like it says in the manual.

You bypass the router and connect directly to the card. Any extra software is available for free from Toshiba, itunes, or google play. In the setup you can select to continue with an internet connection simultaneously.

The first thing is to install the software that comes on the CD with the wireless modem. After the software is installed it is then possible to scan your local neighborhood for wireless routers. At that point choose your own wireless router/modem.

No, there is no wireless module I side the disk. You would have to connect it via wire to a Wi-Fi router or bridge in order to use over Wi-Fi

I don't know exactly what you mean, Its a software, so it doesn't require an internet connection. You just install it to your pc.

Buy whatever you will likely need (no matter how infrequently). If you're going to only be needing internet in wi-fi networks, you don't need the extension. Otherwise, it's good to have.You'll need a real CD drive depending on what you're going to do. If you are both (a) going to be in a situation where you would need to install software or watch a movie via a DVD and (b) not going to be around other wireless computers at the time, I'd say go get it.

There was no CD in the one I ordered, but you don't really need one: everything you can configure is done through a web interface (your browser). You need to go into your router setup and find out what address this was assigned through the DHCP server, then log in to that address to configure.

You can update the firmware over the internet (ethernet or wi-fi), no need for a thumb drive or CD.

No cd required when using the raspberry pi recommended wifi usb. If using a different on then you'll need to load drivers and it still might not work.

Yes I never took the CD out of the Package. Just read the intructions from DJI wed site and down load the ground station on your device. No need for the CD at all.
