Using the Wireless
Configuration Utility
To monitor the wireless network to which the USB Adapter is connected, as well as
check or adjust wireless network settings, use the Wireless Configuration Utility. This
Utility offers the ability to check wireless network signal strength, connect to a wireless
network, and many other options.
☞ Note: If the computer is using the Windows XP Wireless
Configuration Utility, the Actiontec Wireless Configuration
Utility cannot be used. To use the Actiontec Utility, disable the
XP
Utility by right-clicking on the appropriate network icon in the
system tray, then selecting Status from the menu that appears.
In the next window, click Properties. In the next window, make
sure the check box next to “Use Windows to configure my wire-
less network settings” is deactivated (no check mark).
Opening the Wireless Configuration Utility
To open the Utility, go to the right-hand corner of the desktop. In the system tray
(where the clock is located), right-click on the Actiontec Wireless Configuration
Utility icon (shown in the red circle, below)
☞ Note: Depending on the operating system, the Utility icon may
not appear in the system tray. A shortcut icon for the Utility will,
however, appear on the desktop.
