wireless config utility for d-link routers

D-Link WLAN USB Stick drive

If your computer has started freezing since you've installed D-Link AirPlus Router, it's probably because both this file and windows are simultaneously trying to control your Wireless Adaptor. To stop AirGCFG.exe running at startup, go to Start Menu Run, then type Msconfig.exe, click OK, and select the Startup tab. Find AirGCFG.exe in the list and uncheck the box next to it. This will stop the utility running on startup if you're already using Windows' Wireless Network Feature to configure your Wireless Adaptor. If needed, the program can still be run manually via the Start Menu.

After long periods of time (leaving the computer on for days), it seems to eat up a lot of memory (1/2GB, rendering the computer quite slow!)

It loaded with my D Link wireless receiver. it may not be necessary if Windows's own wireless manager is working.

Installed with drivers for D-Link DWL-G510 WiFi Card. Cannot be uninstalled without uninstalling drivers for the card. It can be disabled from starting on startup, using msconfig or other methods. Not neccessary for configuring the WiFi card, the Windows Network Management interface does a better job. A badly written and designed piece of rubbish, in fact.
