Chapter 2
Network Connections and Wireless Security
This chapter explains how to use your Wireless-N USB Adapter to connect to your wireless local
area network (WLAN) and how to set up wireless security for the Wireless-N USB Adapter so that
it matches the wireless security settings for your network.
If you chose the Windows XP or Windows Vista Zero Configuration utility during installation,
and now you want to use the Smart Wizard that is installed on your PC, you must disable the
Windows utility. If you are working with the Vista configuration utility, see the NETGEAR online
application note at: http://documentation.netgear.com/reference/enu/winzerocfg/index.htm

2. In Windows, select Start > Network Connections.
3. Select Wireless Network Connection, right-click, and then select Properties.
4. Click the Wireless Networks tab. Then clear the Use Windows to configure my wireless
