Setting up your wireless card

Network Status

This area 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 area to determine the source (for example, computer, router, or Internet/modem).

Available Networks

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

Lost Wireless Connection

If the current wireless connection is lost, a window opens and the WNU attempts to reconnect.

Connection Failure

Other options will appear during attempts to reconnect. To stop trying to connect, click Stop. To re-try connecting, click Retry.

Network Status and Solution Tips

To further understand the current network status, click Open Wireless Utility. The default screen is the Current Status tab and the Network Status section determines which connections are good or faulty.

Setting Wireless Network Profiles

The My Connections tab on the WNU lets you add, edit, and delete connection profiles. It also displays signal strength, security, and network type.
