INSTALLING AND SETTING UP THE CARD Connecting to your Wireless Network If you already have a wireless router or an access point in your home or office, the Card will automatically attempt to connect to your wireless network. In most cases, the Card will be able to connect to your network automatically. If your wireless network is using encryption, you will need to set the encryption settings of your Card to match that of your wireless network. For information about configuring your Card, see the next section in this manual. Uninstalling the Software and Drivers If you need to remove the software and drivers for any reason, you can easily accomplish this in one of two ways. You can insert the software CD and click on the "Uninstall" option in the menu, or you can go to the Windows Control Panel and select the "Add/Remove Programs" option. The Belkin Wizard will walk you through the removal process. USING THE BELKIN WIRELESS LAN CONFIGURATION UTILITY Proceed with the following instructions for configuring your network profiles.
