Using the Belkin Wireless Network Utility

Using the Quick Connect Screen

The Utility was designed to offer you two methods of connecting to a wireless network. The Adapter ships with the Utility configured so you can use the Configuration view to select a wireless network.

A second option allows you to choose to have the Utility open to the Quick Connect screen. The Quick Connect screen (pictured below) is a simplified window that shows you the names of the available networks only, excluding other information like signal strength, MAC address, network type, channel, etc.
