Figure 3-8 Windows XP-Add Preferred Networks
After you add several profiles into Preferred networks, you can change the order in which
connection attempts to preferred networks are made. Just select the target wireless network
and click Move up or Move down to move it to a desired position.
To Access Certain Wireless Network Only
If you just want to access certain wireless network type, click the Advanced button on the
Wireless Networks tab (Figure 3-12) to open the Advanced window. You can choose to
connect to the following networks:
•
Any available network ( access point preferred)
• Access point (infrastructure)
•
Computer-to-computer (Peer-to-Peer Group)
The default network type is Any available network ( access point preferred). In this
network type, your device will connect to any Access Points or Wireless LAN Cards
available in the air but Access Point always demands higher connection attempt priority.
Once you finish the advanced setting, your wireless station will then connect to your desired
network and the connected network will be listed under Available networks.

Authentication
This tab allows you to configure the authentication settings of your Wireless LAN Card. The
most important setting for the Wireless LAN Card is to disable Enable network access
control using IEEE802.1X to ensure successful connection between the Wireless LAN
Cards and Access Points or other Wireless LAN Cards. You must disable this function for
any reason. Otherwise, there may be some problems happening during connection. For other
settings, we recommend you keep the default settings to minimize the problems during
connection.
