Connecting to a Wireless Network

utilities, see your Windows documentation for help with wireless network
connections.
The Smart Wizard prompts you to connect to a wireless network with one of these
screens:
WPS network No WPS
• WPS network 1 : This network supports Push 'N' Connect (also called WPS). You
can follow the steps to use a WPS button or PIN to connect to a secure network
without entering a password.
• No WPS: Select your wireless network from the list and click Next. To connect to
a secure network, you must enter its passphrase or network key.
The adapter connects to the network, which can take a minute or two. The Smart
Wizard Settings screen displays. Your settings are saved in a profile, which you can
name.
The icon appears in the system tray and on the desktop. You can use it to
open the Smart Wizard to make changes or connect to a different wireless network.
