Chapter3 Configuration
TP-LINK Wireless Adapter TL-WN310G 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 will run. You can also run the utility by clicking the
Start>Program>TP-LINK>TWCU>TP-LINK Wireless Client Utility. The TWCU provides a
complete and easy to use set of tools to:
¾ Display current status information
¾ Edit and add configuration profiles

The section below introduces these above capabilities.
