Chapter 6: Using the Wireless Network Monitor

Use the Wireless Network Monitor to check the link information, search for available wireless networks, or create
profiles that hold different configuration settings.

Using the Wireless Network Monitor Icon

After installing the Adapter, the Wireless A/G USB Network Adapter Wireless Monitor icon will appear in your
system tray. If the Wireless Network Monitor is enabled, then the icon will be green. If the Wireless Network
Monitor is disabled or the Adapter is not connected, then the icon will be gray.
If you right-click the icon, you will see these choices:
• About - Click About to view the version information for the driver and Wireless Network Monitor.
• Use Windows XP Wireless Configuration (Windows XP only) - If your computer is running Windows XP, then
this choice will be available. If you want to use Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration to control the
Adapter—instead of using the Wireless Network Monitor—then select Use Windows XP Wireless
Configuration.
If you want to switch back to the Wireless Network Monitor, right-click the Wireless Network Monitor icon,
and select Use Linksys Wireless Network Monitor.
NOTE: For more information about Wireless Zero Configuration, refer
to Windows Help.
• Turn Monitor on - Select Turn Monitor on to enable the Wireless Network Monitor.
