Wi-Fi Specific Settings"
for
additional details.
Note that with certain Wi-Fi adapters the signal strength for Wi-Fi networks is not accurate until
you connect to the network.
Note:
The Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connection is only created when the WWAN option is selected
during setup and if your wireless device supports it. The NationalAccess connection is only created
when the WWAN option is selected during setup and if you are using a NationalAccess capable device
that does not support the Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess service. If you are using a
BroadbandAccess capable device a NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess connection will be created.
This connection will use BroadbandAccess if available and will automatically attempt a NationalAccess
connection when BroadbandAccess is not available.
If you change phones or PC Cards, you will need to run the Setup Wizard again. To do this
make sure that your phone and cable are connected, then select "Run Wizard" from the "Options"
menu.

If you are using a WWAN (1xEV-DO/1xRTT/CDMA) device that supports the Verizon Wireless
Dial-Up-Data service and you made wireless copies of your dial-up accounts, they will also appear.
See the section "
Creating Wireless Copies of your Dial-Up Connections"

dial-up connections appear in VZAccess Manager and use it to launch any dial-up networking
connection. See the section
"Setting Your Preferences"
. If you are in the presence of a private Wi-Fi
network (such as one at work or at home) it will also appear if you selected the Wi-Fi option during
setup. If the number of connections exceeds what can be displayed, a vertical scroll bar will appear to
the right of the connections. Scroll down to see them all.
The first time you connect with the NationalAccess - BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess, or
Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connection, or a private Wi-Fi connection, a connectivity warning message will
appear. You have the option to suppress these warning messages when they are displayed.
