2-2 Connect to Wireless Access Point

After the driver is correctly installed, it will try to connect to any unencrypted wireless access point automatically. If you want to connect to a specific wireless access point, or the access point you wish to connect uses encryption, you have to configure the wireless network card and input required parameters, to get connected to the wireless access point you wish to connect.

The current status of wireless connection will be displayed by Edimax configuration utility icon:

Wireless connection is established, good signal reception.

Wireless connection is established, normal signal reception.

Wireless connection is established, weak signal reception.

Connection is not established yet.

Wireless network card is not detected.

There are two ways you can configure your wireless network card to connect to wireless access point: using the Edimax configuration utility and using built-in windows zero configuration utility.
