Using the Belkin Wireless Network Utility

Note to Windows XP users: If you are using Windows XP, please read this section first.

Windows XP integrates a wireless management utility referred to as Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration service (WZC). The WZC can be used to control your Adapter. You can also use the Belkin Wireless Network Monitor Utility. We suggest that you use the Belkin Utility to control your Adapter. In order to avoid conflicts between the utilities, we recommend disabling the Windows XP Wireless Zero Confirmation Service.

Disabling the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration Service (WZC)

1.Right-click on the network status icon in the system tray and select the “View Available Wireless Networks” window.

2.Click on the “Advanced” button in the lower left-hand corner of the “View Available Wireless Networks” window.

3.On the Advanced tab, uncheck “Use Windows to Configure my Wireless Network.” Once this box is unchecked, click “OK” to close the window.

You are now using the Belkin Wireless Utility to configure the Wireless Adapter.

If you choose to use the WZC, directions for operation are available in the Windows XP help file. When you first install the Adapter, the Belkin Utility will be enabled. If you want to disable the Belkin Utility in order to use the WZC, follow the steps below to disable the Belkin Utility.
