Other Tips

Issue:
When using the Windows wireless connection manager, I cannot connect to my wireless router. I
receive a "Cannot configure wireless network" error message when scanning for available wireless
networks.
Answer:
Another wireless client software may be installed on your computer that is taking control of the
wireless client adapter away from the Windows connection manager. Either switch to the other
software or use Add/Remove Programs to remove the conflicting client software. After rebooting,
the Windows connection manager should be able to connect to the available wireless networks.
