can only effectively be used if a second network connection, either wired or

wireless, is active.
Once you activate the AP mode, you’ll be asked to specify which network adapter

(other than the Manhattan wireless adapter) should be used for the AP mode. If

the goal is to share an existing Internet connection, then this adapter must provide

an

Internet connection your computer. In the example below, the computer will use the

Manhattan Wireless 450N Dual-Band Adapter to provide wireless access point

functionality while the Intel 82577LM Gigabit adapter provides the Internet connection

to the computer. This is the connection you’ll be sharing wirelessly. If you’ve

understood everything so far, it should be clear that the screen may look different

during your setup since you likely have a different WAN adapter installed.

After you click on the right arrow, a brief message about enabling ICS (Internet

Connection Sharing) will display before the screen disappears.

The other thing that will disappear is the Manhattan wireless connection icon —

replaced by a new icon indicating that the AP mode is now

active. Right-click that icon and select “Open Utility” to start

the configuration utility for the AP mode.
