With the drivers for the P4WNP1 installed, we need to configure our computer to be able to talk to the IP address that is associated to our P4WNP1.
Click your “Start” button and type “Ethernet Settings”

In Ethernet Settings- Click on “Change adapter options” Under related settings.

This will show your Network Adapters- Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and now your P4WNP1

Your P4WNP1 will be the the one that says “Remote NDIS Compatible Device”

Make note of the name, in my case this says Ethernet 13. Everytime you unplug the P4WNP1 and plug it in this name will be different, don’t worry about that. Setting stick.
Right click on you P4WNP1 Network Adapter>> Properties
In the list for “This connection uses the following items” look for the item “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP)” and double click it.

Update the settings to show the following and click OK:

Now go back to the screen that shows your Network Adapters.

If you’re on Wi-Fi select your Wi-Fi adapter, if your hard-lined in select your Ethernet Connection. In my case, I’m hard-lined in so I’ll be selecting the network adapter that I have renamed as “Internet”. Right Click>> Properties. Then Select the “Sharing” tab.

Click the box to “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s internet connection.” Then use the drop down to select the adapter related to your P4WNP1.
Now you are ready to use PuTTY to SSH into your P4WNP1
Open up PuTTY. In the line for the host name enter “[email protected]”
“pi” is the username. So when this opens up an SSH terminal, it’s saying spawn an SSH connection, use the user name “pi” and connect to IP Address 172.16.0.1.
Port should stay at 22.
Next you will see a terminal shell pop up, and if it’s your first time connecting to this host, you’ll also see a “PuTTY Security Alert. Click Accept.
You will be prompted for the password. We talked about the USERNAME above being “pi”, and now we need to enter the password “raspberry”. YOU WILL NOT SEE *** OR TEXT POPULATE. IT WILL LOOK LIKE NOTHING IS TYPED. This is normal!
Raspberry Pi’s run on versions on the Linux Operating System. To navigate around command line for your P4WNP1, we need to go over a few different linux commands. If you’re comfortable with this you can skip.
Commands:
list files and directories:
ls
to access or change directory:
cd <directory name>
example:
cd P4WNP1
