    Switch to Client + AP Mode In this mode, the Intellinet Wireless 450N Dual-Band USB Adapter acts as both a wireless network adapter for your computer and an access point for other wireless devices to connect to the network. In most cases, this function is not needed and should not be activated.

  • Page 9: Available Networks

    Wi-Fi Direct section (Page 20) for details on how to use it. Available Networks Click this button to have the Intellinet wireless adapter scan for and display a list of all wireless networks in range. Double-click an entry on that list to establish a connection to that network.

  • Page 10: Connecting To An Available Wireless Network

    Connecting to a Wireless Network Click on the Available Networks button for a list of available wireless networks. Locate your wireless network in the list, and double-click it. In case the wireless network is protected by a security key, a screen will show up asking you to confirm the wireless settings.

  • Page 11: Profile List

    If the information you provided turns out to be correct, you’ll see a check mark in front of the name of the network you’ve just connected to. The check mark indicates a proper connection has been established. If you entered a wrong password, the utility will not display an error message: It will instead simply not show the check mark.
  • Page 12 The network type is set to the correct value by default. (Infrastructure is by far the most common value.) Since the Intellinet WLAN utility detects the correct settings by default, you should not make any changes to the network type at this point.
  • Page 13 On the next screen you can define the maximum translation output power (Tx Power) of the wireless adapter. While you would normally leave the setting as “Auto” or “100%” in situations where you do not want to have your signal travel so far (e.g., because you live in an apartment building), you can choose a lower value.

  • Page 14: Changing An Existing Profile

    At this point, you’re done creating and connecting the profile. To activate it, click on the icon (circled in red below). Changing an Existing Profile Click on the Profile List button to open the profile list. Select the profile you want to modify and click on the edit icon (circled).

  • Page 15: Creating A Profile With Wps

    Creating a Profile with WPS Besides adding a profile manually, you can connect to a wireless network and create a profile based on WPS technology. Wi-Fi Protected Setup, also known as Wi-Fi Simple Config, is a computing standard that attempts to allow easy establishment of a secure wireless home network.
  • Page 16 If PBC involves physically pressing buttons, then why does the software have an option for a push-button setup? The answer is simple: The same Intellinet WLAN utility is included with the PCI WLAN Card and the tiny Wireless 150N Nano Adapter.
  • Page 17 The utility will then scan for a wireless router currently accepting PBC requests. If the scan is successful, the main Profile List screen displays and the network name now has a preceding check mark. Should you instead see the screen below, something went wrong. Either the WPS button wasn’t pressed on the wireless router, or you didn’t press the Start PBC button within two minutes after the button on the wireless router was pressed.

  • Page 18: Advanced

    Advanced The Advanced screen lets you configure the wireless operational mode of your adapter. Normally, there is no need to open this page and make any changes. If your wireless adapter is capable of 2.4 and 5 GHz connections, as dual-band adapters are, you can select the Wireless Mode setting here.

  • Page 19: About

    The second Advanced screen is designed for network administrators and allows for the installation of 802.1x WPA Enterprise certificates. Both user and issuer certificates can be installed, though in most cases this won’t be required since the certificate will likely have already been installed through the included Windows components.

  • Page 20: Wi-Fi Direct - Overview

    Wi-Fi Direct – Overview Wi-Fi Direct is a standard that allows Wi-Fi devices to connect to each other without a wireless access point. It’s become increasingly common for smartphones and portable media players to include Wi-Fi as a standard feature, and it’s even become common in feature phones.
  • Page 21 Once you’ve successfully activated Wi-Fi Direct service, the main screen will display. Depending on whether or not Wi-Fi Direct–enabled devices are found, the screen will look different: Example 1: Wi-Fi–enabled devices are found in the network. GO (Group Owner) indicates an access point or similar device. This indicates that the device is the head of one or more client devices (multiple clients belong to this GO).
  • Page 22 Example 2: No Wi-Fi enabled devices are found in the network. Right-click the laptop icon in the lower left corner to open the menu below. Scan: Perform an active scan for available Wi-Fi Direct enabled devices. Enable Quick Connection: Enables the Quick Connection mode. Enable autonomous GO: Click to make your computer a group owner (GO), symbolized by .
  • Page 23 Back at the main screen, you should see , indicating that this computer is now a group owner (GO). Media Sharing: You can turn your computer into a media server for connected Wi-Fi Direct clients. Enter a server name — e.g., mymediaserver — and specify the folder on your hard drive you want to share.

  • Page 24: Wi-Fi Direct - Creating And Accepting Connections

    After you’ve enabled the media sharing function, other computers can see the shared folder in the network environment. The example shows Ralink_Media_ Server, but it will be the name that you entered as the server name in the previous step. Double-click the server icon to open Windows Media Player, allowing users to play back the media files you shared.

    The next step is to enter the actual password, or passphrase, for the wireless network. As for the Group Rekey Interval setting, the group key (or group transient key) is a key shared among all wireless clients connected to the same AP, and is used to secure multicast/broadcast traffic.

Choosing which option is the right one depends on your network application. • Beacon Interval (ms) — Access points broadcast traffic indication messages, or beacons, in order to synchronize wireless networks. The beacon interval specifies the duration in milliseconds between those beacon packets.

    • MAC Address — Enter a 12-character address without no spaces, dashes or colons; e.g., 001122334455. (Media access control, or MAC, addresses used elsewhere can appear in 00:00:00:00:00 or 00-00-00-00-00 formats.) Based on the MAC address of the wireless client, you can now decide whether to allow or deny access.
