Finding a Network

During the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter software installation, the Smart Wizard lists the available
networks. After installation you can use the Find a Network button on the Network tab at any time
to view the available networks and select the one that you want to use.
Note: Make sure that you know the security settings for the network that you want to use.
For example, if WEP is used then you need to know the WEP key. If you use secure
networks frequently, set up profiles for each network with the wireless network and
security settings.
