3.1 About the setup utilities
After you have installed the WiFi-AP Solo™ drivers and utilities to your system,
you are now ready to setup the WiFi-AP Solo™ in your network.
Make sure that you have selected the most appropriate configuration for
your wireless network before you proceed. Refer to section 1.4 for details.
Make sure you have connected the supplied antenna to the antenna
connector on the motherboard, or the WiFi-AP Solo™ may not be able to
detect other wireless devices in your environment.
The WiFi-AP Solo™ provides two configuration approaches: the setup
wizard and the setup utility. The former scheme provides an easy approach
to the most frequently used functions while the later allows configuring all the
functions, including the advanced settings.
The setup wizard helps you to:
1. configure the WiFi-AP Solo™ as an access point, or wireless station (in
either Infrastructure or Ad-hoc mode);
2. create a network profile (when setting up Ad-hoc).
The setup utility helps you to:
1. configure the WiFi-AP Solo™ as an access point, or wireless station (in
either Infrastructure or Ad-hoc mode);
2. create, edit and delete a network profile;
3. switch to Windows

Zero Configuration Service (Windows XP only) to
