Chapter 3: Configuration
TP-LINK Wireless Adapter TL-WN510G/TL-WN550G/TL-WN551G can be configured by
TP-LINK Wireless Client Utility (TWCU). This chapter describes how to configure your
TP-LINK Wireless Adapter for wireless connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network
(WLAN) and use the data security encryption features.
After Installing the Adapter, the Adapter’s tray icon will appear in your system tray. It
appears at the bottom of the screen, and shows the signal strength using color and the
received signal strength indication (RSSI).
If the icon is gray, there is no connection.
If the icon is red, there is poor signal strength and the RSSI is less than 5dB.
If the icon is yellow, there is poor signal strength and the RSSI is between 5dB and
10dB.
If the icon is green, there is good signal strength and the RSSI is between 10dB
and 20dB.
If the icon is green, there is excellent signal strength and the RSSI is more than
20dB.
Double-click the icon and the TWCU utility will run. You can also run the utility by clicking
the Start>Program>TP-LINK>TP-LINK Wireless Client Utility. The TWCU utility provides a
complete and easy to use set of tools to:
