Windows Server 2008 R2 Note: By default, the Microsoft “Wireless LAN Service” Feature is not installed. Before any wireless networking can be enabled, this feature must be installed through the Windows Server Manager window. Refer to Windows’ documentation for details.
How to Use Connecting to a wireless network can be done through the Windows wireless configuration utilities or the Ralink WLAN Utility (if installed). You must know the name of the wireless network (SSID), the type of security it is using (if any) and its associated password to connect to a wireless network. Consult the documentation for your wireless router/access point (AP) or contact your network administrator or the wireless router/AP manufacturer for details.
Windows Vista/7/8 The wireless network adapter will appear as a small icon in the System Tray (next to the clock). Left-clicking on this icon will bring up a list of detected wireless networks. Select the wireless network you wish to connect to and click the “Connect” button. If the network has security enabled, you will be prompted for a password.
Ralink WLAN Utility Instead of using the built-in Windows wireless utility, a 3rd party utility, Ralink WLAN Utility, can be used. This utility provides access to additional features of the wireless card, such as Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). If the Ralink WLAN utility is installed, then a small icon will appear in the system tray area near the clock. Double-click the icon to open the utility window, or right-click on it to bring up the menu and select the ‘launch’ option.
Connecting to an available network: 1. To connect to a wireless network, bring up “Available Networks” from the main window. This will list all of the detected wireless networks in the area. 2. Once you locate the network you wish to connect to, select it from the list by click on the entry, then click the ‘Connect’ button. If this is a network that you will be connecting to often, then you may wish to create a persistent profile by clicking the “Add to Profile” button and following the prompts.
3. If the network uses encryption, a window will popup where you will need to enter the proper authentication information (i.e. password/passphrase). 4. Once successfully connected to the network, information about the wireless router/ access point will be listed in the main window and the “AP Information” section of the Available Networks window.
4. Select the type of Authentication/Encryption used by the network (if any). Click the ‘Next’ arrow button when ready. 5. If an Authentication type was specified, enter in the password/passphrase used to access the network. Click the ‘Next’ arrow button when ready. 6. Once the profile has been created, you must activate it for it to become the default profile. Select the profile and click the “Activate Profile” button.
Wireless Mode In the Advanced Settings window, accessible from the main interface window, you can select which wireless frequency range the dual band wireless adapter should use. You can select between 2.4GHz only, 5GHz only or 2.4 + 5 GHz.
