Making a Basic Network Connection

Before You Start

In the following instructions for making a network connection, we use the utility
we provided to configure your wireless network settings.

Note: For Windows XP users that want to configure your wireless network using this
Utility, please perform the following procedures to disable your native Windows XP
wireless support (Wireless Zero Configuration Service)

1. Double click the

icon on your desktop to start the utility.

2. Make sure that the “Windows Zero Config” checkbox is unchecked.


Ad-Hoc Mode

An Ad-Hoc mode wireless network connects two computers directly without the use
of a router or AP. It is also known as a peer-to-peer network. For example, we
can install this wireless adapter to two computers respectively. The
communication between the two computers is an Ad-Hoc mode network.
