Connecting to a Network

If you are using Windows 2000, 98, ME, or NT, the Configuration Utility program for the C54U is called Conceptronic 54Mbps Wireless Utility. Once you have installed WLAN Utility (the configuration utility), you can read this section of the manual to find out how to connect to a wireless network using WLAN Utility. Screenshots for this section have been taken in Windows 2000.
