similarly named tab to do a site search. If you need help, refer to the
documentation that came with your wireless adapter.
2 When prompted, enter the Security Key found on the bottom label of your unit. If
you changed the key in Step 4 of the Setup Wizard, enter the new security key.
There are several site scan issues you should be aware of:
¾ 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.
¾ 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. You will also be able to click
a link to open the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box. If this
happens, click the link, clear the Use Windows to configure my wireless
network settings check box, and then click OK. You can then use the software
provided with your wireless adapter without interruption from Windows.
¾ 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 Modem/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 8. 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.
2 Test your wireless connections. From each desktop or notebook computer that
you set up, open your Web browser (for instance, Internet Explorer or Firefox) 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 computer that has a wireless adapter, find the wireless network
connection option (similar to the process of adding your computer to the network).
2 Click or highlight the Modem/Router’s Wireless Network Name.
3 Select or click on Disconnect or similarly-named button.
Setting up your Network using WPS
If all the wireless devices you plan to connect to your network support Wi-Fi Protected
Setup (WPS), you can use WPS to connect and secure your devices in one step. To
use WPS follow the instructions below.
