Advanced Options

The Zoom Wireless-G USB utility provides options so you can create profiles, monitor the signal strength of your network connection, scan available networks, and specify advanced settings. This chapter tells you when and how to use each of these options.

Creating Profiles

A profile is a collection of settings needed for a particular wireless connection. If you plan to use more than one network, you can create a profile for each one and then switch to its profile when you want to connect to that particular network.

For example, you may want to set up profiles for a work network and a home network, each of which has different configuration settings. By creating two profiles, you can store the settings for each network and then switch quickly and easily from one network to the other by selecting the appropriate profile.

1 On your desktop, double-click the Zoom Wireless-G USB icon.

2 On the Configuration tab, in the Profile text box, enter a name for the profile you want to create.

For example, let’s say you have a small home network to which you want to be able to switch quickly when you arrive home. Give the profile the name “Home”:
