Understanding the Configuration Options

• Configure wireless settings.
• Monitor wireless network connections.
• Save your settings in configuration profiles.
The section below introduces these capabilities of the configuration utility.
Using Configuration Profiles
The WG511U configuration utility uses profiles to store all the configuration settings for a
particular wireless network. You can store multiple profiles and recall the one which matches the
network you want to join.
Note: The instructions in this section refer to the NETGEAR WG511U configuration
utility. For Windows XP users to use the NETGEAR configuration utility, the Windows
XP wireless configuration utility must be deselected. To deselect the Windows XP
wireless configuration utility, open the network connections from the system tray icon,
click the Properties button, click the Wireless Networks tab and then clear the “Use
Windows to configure my wireless network settings” check box.
