No, just disable the ethernet connection. It is the usual fix. For the
wireless, use the quick start guide that came with the card. From a
wired connection, access the router web interface http://192.168.1.1 or
whatever the quick start guide indicates. The router interface for
wireless will work right out of the box if enabled on the opening
screen.
