The WNU’s default screen is the “Current Status” tab. The “Current Status” tab displays the current network status and available networks.

Network Status

This window displays the connectivity status of the current network, between the computer and router, and between the router and the Internet. In the event of a problem, use the “Network Status” window to determine the source (e.g., computer, router, or Internet/modem).

Available Networks

This window displays the available networks at the current location as well as their SSID, Signal Strength, Security Type, Channel, and Network Type.

Lost Wireless Connection

If the current wireless connection is lost, a window will pop up and the WNU will attempt to reconnect.
