Overview
Kingnet Wireless LAN Driver and Utility is a software program developed by Kingnet. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background.

The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The setup package generally installs about 18 files and is usually about 5.63 MB (5,904,297 bytes).
