Page 15: Available Network
Available Network When you open the Configuration Utility, the system will scan all the channels to find all the access points/stations within the accessible range of your adapter and automatically connect to the wireless network with the highest signal strength. From the “Available Network” tab, all the networks nearby will be listed. -
Page 16: General
General To check the connection status of the adapter, select “General.” This screen shows the Link Speed, Network Type, Encryption Method, SSID, Signal Strength, Link Quality and Network Address of the adapter. Parameter Description Status This shows the connection status of the adapter. Speed This shows the current speed. -
Page 17: Profile
Signal Strength This indicates the wireless signal strength. Link Quality This indicates the wireless link quality. Network Address This shows the MAC, IP address and other information about the adapter. Profile The “Profiles List” is for managing the networks you connect to frequently. You are able to use Add/Remove/Edit/Duplicate/Set Default to manage a profile. -
Page 18: Configure The Profile
3.4.1 Configure the Profile Parameter Description Profile Name Define a recognizable profile name so you can identify different networks. Network Name (SSID) The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the unique name identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs. - Page 19 Network Authentication This setting has to be consistent with the wireless networks that the adapter intends to connect. Open System – No authentication is needed within the wireless network. Shared Key – Only wireless stations using a shared key (WEP Key identified) are allowed to connect to each other.
- Page 20 Data Encryption Disabled – Disable the WEP Data Encryption. WEP – Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When this is selected, you need to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys. TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a network).
- Page 21 EAP Type GTC – GTC is an authentication protocol that allows the exchange of clear text authentication credentials across the network. TLS – TLS is the most secure of the EAP protocols, but is not easy to use. It requires that digital certificates be exchanged in the authentication phase.

Wi-Fi Protect Setup (WPS) Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the latest wireless network technology, which makes wireless network setup become very simple. If you have a WPS-enabled wireless access point and you want to establish a secure connection to it, you don’t need to configure the wireless access point and set up data encryption by yourself. - Page 24 3. If you click “Yes” and the following message appears on your computer, select the SSID of the wireless access point that you want to connect to and click “Select.” 4. You’ll need to wait up to two minutes while the install procedure runs. If a wireless access point with the correct PIN code is found, you’ll be connected to that access point.
- Page 25 Push Button Config (PBC) 1. Start the PBC pairing procedure on the access point side (refer to the instructions given by your access point’s manufacturer), then click “PBC” in the wireless configuration utility to start to establish a wireless connection by WPS. (This may require up to a minute to complete.) 2.
