Using the Wireless Network Monitor Icon

After installing the Adapter, the Wireless-G USB Network Adapter Wireless Monitor icon will appear in your system tray. If the Wireless Network Monitor is enabled, the icon will be green. If the Wireless Network Monitor is disabled or the Adapter is not connected, the icon will be gray.

If you want to switch back to the Wireless Network Monitor, right-click the Wireless Network Monitor icon, and select Use Linksys Wireless Network Monitor.

NOTE: For more information about Wireless Zero Configuration, refer to Windows Help.
