You cannot properly use your Netgear MNA device if you don't have the smart wizard CD or its driver software. Driver software is very important to any electronic devices inserted to a computer system.

However, you can still use the device provided that you will download the driver software from the manufacturer's website. Just visit the main website of the device's brand and try to search for the device. Download and install the driver software properly.
