Chapter 2 Network Connections and Wireless Security This chapter explains how to use your wireless-N USB adapter to connect to your wireless local area network (WLAN) and how to set up wireless security for the wireless-N USB adapter so that it matches the wireless security settings for your network. During installation, if you selected the Custom Setup Type, and the Windows Utility radio button, the features described in this chapter will not be available. If this is the case, and you want to use the Smart Wizard, remove the WNA1000 software (see "Removing the WNA1000 Software" on page 1-10). Then use the Resource CD to reinstall the software. Either select the Express Setup Type, or use the Custom Setup Type, and leave the Smart Wizard radio button selected.

To view information about wireless networks: 1. Click the icon to open the Smart Wizard. 2. Click the Networks tab to display the following screen: You can click a column heading to sort. If many networks use the same channel they can interfere with each other. T. he status bar shows your network connection and Internet connection. Figure 2-1 2-1 v1.0, August 2009
