Zoom AP+2, WIRELESS-G

Chapter 1: Installing the AP+2 as an Access Point 11

Tip! If your computer is running Windows XP, your operating system may

try to configure the AP+2 (rather than let you use the software provided with

the wireless adapter). You will know this is happening because you are

prompted with a message about one or more wireless networks being

available and you will be able to click a link to open the Wireless Network

Connection Properties dialog box. If this happens, click the link and clear

the Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings check box

to disable it, then click OK. You can then use the software provided with

your wireless adapter without interruption from Windows XP.

3 When a list of available wireless networks appears, you will see

a Service Set Identifier (SSID) of zoom. Select it as the

network you want to use to connect to the Internet.

4 If you are like most users, you set up the AP+2 as an access

point to provide wireless access to the Internet. If this is the

case, test your wireless connection by opening a Web browser

on the computer you just set up and trying to connect to a

familiar Web address. (If you do not connect, see Appendix

A: Troubleshooting on page 53.)

Congratulations! This computer has been added to your wireless

network. If you do not have any other computers to add to the

network, you can optionally add security to your network by

following the instructions in Chapter 4: Setting Security on

page 21.
