Connecting A Computer With A Wireless Adapter To The Wireless-N 4-Port Router - Zoom Wireless-N User Manual

There are several site scan issues you should be aware of:
More than one wireless network may appear in the list. These are other wireless networks that
are within range of your network. Your neighbors, for instance, may be within range of your
network. Each wireless network has a channel associated with it. We recommend there be at
least a five-channel difference between your network and those of your neighbors. Having less
than a five-channel difference may result in interference with your connection. By default, the
Wireless-N 4-port Router uses channel 10. If you need to change this channel, you must do so
using the Wireless Setup page of the Zoom Configuration Manager. For instructions on
how to log in to the Zoom Configuration Manager, see page 7. After logging in, select
Wireless from the left-hand menu. On the Wireless page you can select a new channel from
the drop-down menu.

Test your wireless connections. From each computer or device that you set up, open your
Web browser (for instance, Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome) and try to connect to a
familiar Web address.
If you connect successfully, you are ready to browse the Web!
To disconnect from the current network:
1
On your wireless device or computer, find the wireless network connection option (similar
to the process of adding your device or computer to the network).
2
Click or highlight Zoom.
3
Select or click on Disconnect or similarly-named button.

4-port Router
1
Go to the computer that is set up with a wireless adapter that you want to add to the
network. The computer should have software that will let it perform a site search to scan
for available wireless networks in your area. When the Wireless Network name (SSID) that
you set in Step 3 of the Setup Wizard of your Wireless-N 4-port Router's wireless network
appears in the list select it as the network you want to use to connect to the Internet. If you
did not change the Wireless Network name (SSID) in Step 3 select the default name Zoom.
Tip!
For most wireless adapters, you will use its wireless configuration manager software and click
a Scan button or select a Site Scan, Scan Networks, or other similarly named tab to do a
site search. If you need help, refer to the documentation that came with your wireless adapter.
There are several site scan issues you should be aware of:
If you are trying to connect to a wireless network that already has security enabled, your
wireless adapter might not recognize what type of security is on the network. You may need to
manually set up the security for your adapter. If you need help, refer to the documentation that
came with your wireless adapter.
Windows 7, XP, and Vista users: If you installed a wireless adapter on a Windows 7, XP, or
Vista computer, Windows may try to automatically configure the adapter (rather than let you
use the software provided with the wireless adapter). You will know this is happening because
you will be prompted with a message about one or more wireless networks being available.
