Windows 7, XP, and Vista users: If you installed a wireless adapter on a
Windows 7, XP, or Vista computer, Windows may try to automatically configure the
adapter (rather than let you use the software provided with the wireless adapter).
You will know this is happening because you will be prompted with a message
about one or more wireless networks being available. You will also be able to click
a link to open the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box. If this
happens, click the link, clear the Use Windows to configure my wireless
network settings check box, and then click OK. You can then use the software
provided with your wireless adapter without interruption from Windows.
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.

Test your wireless connections. From each desktop or notebook computer that
you set up, open your Web browser (for instance, Internet Explorer or Firefox) and
try to connect to a familiar Web address.
If you connect successfully, you are ready to browse the Web!
To disconnect from the current network:
1
On your computer that has a wireless adapter, find the wireless network
connection option (similar to the process of adding your computer to the network).
2
Click or highlight the Travel Router's Network ID.
3
Select or click on Disconnect or similarly-named button.
Setting up your Network using WPS
If all the wireless devices you plan to connect to your network support Wi-Fi Protected
Setup (WPS), you can use WPS to connect and secure your devices in one step. To
use WPS follow the instructions below.
Note: WPS configures one client device at a time. Please repeat the
configuration method for each client on your wireless network that supports
WPS security.
Configuration Methods
WPS offers three configuration methods. Choose the method that is compatible with
the hardware and software options available on your "client device," which is the
device you're connecting wirelessly to the Travel Router.
