Adaptec Ultra Wireless USB Adapter User’s Guide

Checking Your Network
Connection

You can check the status of your network connection three ways:

Look at the Link LED on your Wireless USB Adapter. If the LED
is flashing, the adapter is searching for a connection. If it’s
glowing steady, the wireless connection is made. If it’s dark,
there is no wireless connection.

Look at the Adaptec Wireless Utility icon on your taskbar. If the
icon is green, the wireless connection is made. If the icon is red,
the Wireless USB Adapter is searching for a connection.

Double-click the Adaptec Wireless Utility icon on your taskbar.
