1. Select the profile from the Profiles List.
2. Click Connect. The connection icon indicates that you are connected to the network. The network name, speed, and signal quality display the
current connection status. Click the Details button to display details of the current network connection.
NOTE:
For a list of available access points on a particular wireless network, click the Properties button on the main window. Refer to
Network Properties for details.
Scan for available networks
Use the Refresh button to detect any available network within the range of your wireless adapter. When an available network is found, select the
network name from the Available Networks list. If the adapter is currently connected to a network access point, the current wireless connection is still
maintained while scanning for available networks.
● If the wireless adapter receives a blank network name (SSID) from a stealth access point, both the blank SSID and <no profile> display in the
available networks list. To associate with a stealth access point, a new profile must first be created. Click the Connect button to launch the
Profile Wizard, then create a profile for the selected wireless network. After connection both the blank SSID and the associated SSID can be
viewed in the Profiles List.
