The following options are available if you selected "detect Wi-Fi" device during setup. If you have
added a Wi-Fi device after having installed VZAccess Manager, you can select "Options", "Run
Wizard" to run the setup wizard again.
If you connect your Wi-Fi device after VZAccess Manager has been started and you are in
coverage of a Wi-Fi network, selecting "Options", "Refresh Networks" will cause VZAccess
Manager to recognize your Wi-Fi device (and WWAN if connected) and scan for available
networks.
Wi-Fi Preferences
The options relevant to Wi-Fi are found on the "Options" tab and the "Wi-Fi" tab under
preferences. Select "Options" then "Preferences".
The first relevant tab is the Wi-Fi tab.
Wireless adapters: In the rare case you have more than one Wi-Fi adapter, you can select the
Wi-Fi adapter you are using. If your adapter does not appear, try upgrading to the latest

Automatically connect to preferred networks: If desired, you can select to have VZAccess
Manager automatically connect to your preferred Wi-Fi networks when they are detected.

using the "Automatically connect" feature VZAccess Manager will try to connect to the networks
