Actiontec 11 Mbps Wireless USB Adapter User Manual

Windows XP

When using the Adapter with a computer running Windows XP, the Wireless LAN Utility Monitor is not used. Instead, Windows XP handles the operation of the wireless network natively (that is, within the Windows XP operating system itself). Clicking the network icon in the System Tray generates the “Wireless Network Connection X Status” window (with “X” representing the number of the connection; if only one con- nection is available, no number will appear here).

Two tabs (General and Support) can be accessed from this window. See the documen- tation that came with Windows XP for more information about wireless networking.
