Windows® XP
Windows® XP users may use the built-in wireless utility. If you are using another company’s utility, please refer
to the user manual of your wireless adapter for help with connecting to a wireless network. Most utilities will
have a “site survey” option similar to the Windows® XP utility as seen below.
1.
Right-click on the wireless computer icon in your system tray
(lower right corner next to the time). Select
View Available
Wireless Networks
.
2. The utility will display any available wireless networks
in your area. Click on a network (displayed using the
SSID) and click the
Connect
button.
3. The
Wireless Network Connection
box will appear.
Enter the WPA/WPA2 passphrase and click
Connect
.
It may take 20-30 seconds to connect to the wireless
network. If the connection fails, please verify that
the WPA/WPA2 settings are correct. The WPA/WPA2
passphrase must be exactly the same as on the wireless
router.
