  • Page 5: Chapter 2: Wireless Security Checklist

    Chapter 2 Chapter 2: Wireless Security Checklist Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by sending information over radio waves, it can be more vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network.
  • Page 6: Chapter 3: Configuration

    Chapter 3 Chapter 3: Configuration The Linksys Wireless Manager is used to configure the Adapter. The Wireless Manager lets you search for available wireless networks, establish or terminate a connection with a wireless network, and save a wireless network’s settings. How to Access the Wireless Manager After you have installed the Adapter, the Linksys Wireless Manager icon appears in the system tray of your computer.

  • Page 8 Chapter 3 How to Connect to a Hidden Wireless Network NOTE: By default, a wireless network’s router broadcasts the network SSID (name). A “hidden” wireless network is a network whose router has been configured not to broadcast the SSID. Follow these steps to connect to a wireless network that is not listed on the Connect to a Wireless Network screen.
  • Page 9 Chapter 3 Checking Connection screen appears. Checking Connection Connected to Your Network screen appears. If you want the Wireless Manager to save your network’s settings, click Remember this network. Click Finish to exit the Wireless Manager. NOTE: Saving a hidden network’s settings will make it easier to reconnect to the network.

  • Page 11: Saved Networks

    Chapter 3 Saved Networks When you connect to a wireless network, you can save its settings so that it will be easier to reconnect to the network at a later time. This is most helpful with hidden networks; if you do not save a hidden network’s settings, you will have to enter the SSID and security key.
