3. Configuring the Adapter
This section describes how to connect your wireless adapter to a wireless network.
Note to Windows XP Users:
You must disable the Wireless Zero Configuration Utility in order to use the bundled
Wireless Utility. Please follow the steps below to disable XP’s wireless utility. Windows
Vista users can skip the following instructions and go to Step 1
Double-click on the Wireless Network Connection Icon in the system tray and then
click on Properties or Advanced.
When the new wireless network connection properties window appears, go to the
Wireless Networks tab, uncheck the “Use Windows to configure my wireless
network settings” check box and click OK.

12
Step 1 To open the utility, double click on the Wireless Monitor icon in the system tray
at the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.

13
Step 2 Go to the Available Network tab, select the SSID (Network Name) of the
wireless network you wish to connect to, and double click Add to Profile.

14
If the network you are attempting to connect to is configured for encryption, you will see
an orange lock icon next to the network.

15
When you click on it and click connect, a box will pop up requesting the wireless
encryption key for the router. Enter the encryption key into the box and click OK.

16
Step 3 You should now be connected. You should see “Status” in the top, middle
, and SSID, signal Strength, 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 will want to tune your router’s signal by changing channels on the
router.
You do not need to change the channel on the card, it will automatically pick up the new
channel after you reboot. The only channel that you need to change is the router’s
channel.
Your router has 11 different channels to choose from. Start with channel 1 and work
your way up. Each time you change the channel on the router, make sure that you
restart the wireless computer 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 came with your
router.
