1. Scanning the WiFi Signal – A Quick Guide
1.1 RALINK WIRELESS UTILITY (RaUI) OR WINDOWS ZERO
CONFIGURATION (WZC)
As the title suggests, two types of wireless utilities are possible. The Windows Zero Configuration
provides the basic wireless networking configuration whose user interface is consistent across various
Windows Operating Systems from XP, VISTA to Windows 7; and the more sophisticated RaLink
Wireless Utility with the WPA supplicant functionality.
As soon as Windows starts, you could find the RaUI icon at the lower right hand corner of the computer
screen. Right-click RaUI allows you to toggle between RaUI and WZC.
RaUI can work in parallel with WZC. When WZC is active, RaUI provides only the monitoring function,
such as showing the link stats, network status, statistic counters, advance feature status, WMM status
and WPS status. It won’t interfere with WZC’s configuration or profile functions.
1.2 Working with WZC
Go to Section 1.3 if you want to use RaUI instead.
When WZC is activated, the RaUI screen becomes:
(i) The Profile button turns grey. The profile function is removed since the NIC (i.e. Network Interface
Card) is now being controlled by WZC.
(ii) The Connect and Add Profile functions turn grey.
