Connecting a Windows 7 Computer with Built-in Wireless Capabilities

1
From the taskbar, click on the wireless symbol.
2
In the wireless network options box, highlight the Network ID name (SSID) you
gave your wireless network in Step 4 of the Setup Wizard. If you did not change
the Network ID (SSID), select the default name Zoom. If you want to
automatically connect to the travel router, click the Connect Automatically box.
Then click Connect.
•
If you enabled security in Step 4 of the Setup Wizard, enter the security
key in the next dialog box and click Connect.
•
Otherwise if your desired network is unsecured, in the message box
select Connect Anyway.
When you click on the wireless network option box, Windows will scan for available
networks. More than one wireless network may appear in the list. These are other
wireless networks that are within range of your network. Your neighbors, for
instance, may be within range of your network. Each wireless network has a
channel associated with it. We recommend there be at least a five-channel
difference between your network and those of your neighbors. Having less than a
five-channel difference may result in interference with your connection. By default,
the travel router uses channel 1. If you need to change this channel, you must do
so using the Wireless Setup page of the Zoom Configuration Manager. For
instructions on how to log in to the Zoom Configuration Manager, see page 11.
After logging in, select Wireless from the left-hand menu. On the Wireless page
you can select a new channel from the drop-down menu.
To disconnect from the current network:
1
Right-click the wireless network icon in the notification area of the Windows
taskbar.
2
Right-click your network ID and select Disconnect.
