Finding a Network
During the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter software installation, the Smart Wizard lists the available
networks. After installation you can use the Find a Network button on the Network tab at any time
to view the available networks and select the one that you want to use.
Follow the steps below to Find a Network.
The Smart Wizard initiates your wireless connection. You can use the Status Bar to verify your
network connection. For more information, see
“The Smart Wizard Status Bar” in Chapter 1.
Note: Make sure that you know the security settings for the network that you want to use.
For example, if WEP is used then you need to know the WEP key. If you use
secure networks frequently, set up profiles for each network with the wireless
network and security settings.
1. Use the icon to open the
Smart Wizard.
The Settings tab page opens.
2. Click Find a Network.
3. Select a network from the
drop-down list. If you select a
hidden network then you must
enter the SSID. Click Next.
4. Follow the steps of the wizard
to specify the wireless security
if used, and to create a profile.
5. Review you settings, and click
Finish.
