Chapter 3 Configuration
3.1 For Windows XP
TP-LINK Wireless PCI Adapter TL-WN350G/TL-WN350GD can be configured by TP-LINK
Wireless Client Utility (TWCU). This chapter describes how to configure your TP-LINK Wireless
PCI 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 will run. You can also run the utility by clicking the
Start>Program>TP-LINK>TWCU>TP-LINK Wireless Client Utility. The TWCU provides
integrated and easy tools to:
¾ Display current status information
¾ Edit and add configuration profiles
