Network Connections and Wireless Security
This chapter explains how to use your Wireless-N USB Adapter to connect to your wireless local
area network (WLAN) and how to set up wireless security for the Wireless-N USB Adapter so that
it matches the wireless security settings for your network.
If you chose the Windows XP or Windows Vista Zero Configuration utility during installation, and
now you want to use the Smart Wizard, you must disable the Windows utility. If you are working
with the Vista configuration utility, see the NETGEAR online application note at:
