Configuring the Wireless Adapter
Note to Windows XP Users:
You must disable the Wireless Zero Configuration 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.
Step 2 Go to the AP List tab, select the SSID (Network Name) of the wireless
network you wish to connect to, and click Connect.
If the network you are attempting to connect to is configured for encryption, you
will see an orange lock icon next to the network.
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.
When you click on it and click connect, a box will pop up requesting the wireless
Troubleshooting:
encryption key for the router. Enter the encryption key into the box and click OK.
If you are experiencing problems with the connection (unable to connect, low
signal strength, slow connection speed, not working, unstable wireless connec-
tion) 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
channel of the router.
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 manual CD that came with your
router.
Step 3 You should now be connected. You should see “Connected” in the top,
right hand corner, and there will be a blue circle around the antenna icon next to
the network name.
