The Airlink101 Wireless Monitor of Windows XP gives you an option to Start or
Stop the Wireless Zero Configuration. It is not recommended to check this
Windows Zero Config box, if it is checked, you will be using the XP’s wireless
utility instead of the Airlink101 Wireless Monitor utility to monitor the connection.
Step 2.1
The Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) is a new and easy way to configure the
encryption for your wireless network clients. In order to use it, you need to have
a router that supports this feature. If your router doesn’t support WPS, continue
to Step 2.2.
1. Push the WPS button of the Adaptor.

The ‘Wi-Fi Protected Setup – PBC method’ window will popup to
acknowledge you the Adapter is starting to establish a connection.
2. Push the WPS button of the Router. The picture shows Airlink101 AR670W
router.
3. The router will now start the handshake with the wireless Adapter. The
connection will be established in 2 minutes. Continue to Step 2.4.
If the connection is not able to establish, continue to Step 2.2.
Step 2.2 Click the Available Network tab of the Wireless Monitor, select the
SSID (Network Name) of the wireless network that you wish to connect to, and
click Add to Profile.
If the network that you are attempting to connect does not have encryption
enabled, you will receive a warning about connecting to an unsecured network.
Click OK to complete the connection. Go to Step 2.3.
If the network that you are attempting to connect is configured for encryption,
the Wireless Network Properties window will appear:

The Adapter may automatically detect the Network Authentication and the Data
encryption. You need to enter the security settings in the appropriate boxes
according to the settings of the router and then click OK to connect.
Please refer to the User’s Manual on the provided CD for instructions on
configuring the wireless network security settings.
Step 2.3 The connection is now established. Click on the Wireless Monitor
utility icon to check the status of the connection. The Status should be
Associated, and there will be green bars next to Signal Strength and Link
Quality.
Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing problems with the connection (unable to connect, low
signal strength, slow connection speed, not working, unstable wireless
connection) you may want to tune your router’s signal by changing the
channels on the router and/or by adjusting the direction of the antenna(s).
You do not need to change the channel on the Adapter; it will automatically pick
up the new channel after you reboot the router.
Your router has 11 different channels to choose from. Start from channel 1 and
work your way up. Each time you change the channel on the router, make sure
that you restart the computer that is connected to the router before trying to
connect again. Keep going through the channels until you find one that gives
you a stable connection.
For instructions on changing channels, refer to the documentation that comes
with the router.
