What is the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiMAX Connection Utility?
The Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiMAX Connection Utility (or just the WiMAX connection utility) lets you easily manage
your laptop connections to WiMAX networks. Connecting to WiMAX is simple. And the utility keeps track of available
networks and can connect to them automatically. The utility is completely configurable. The WiMAX adapter and
connection can be easily turned off whenever necessary.

Because your laptop computer has a WiMAX adapter, a software program is always managing the adapter. If a program
other than the WiMAX connection utility is managing your WiMAX adapter, you first need to close/stop that program. You
can then start the WiMAX connection utility.
To start the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiMAX Connection Utility, use one of the following methods:
● Click Start > All Programs > Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless > WiMAX Connection Utility.
