Why are there two wireless utilities in your system tray?
Which one should you use?
There are several features and advantages to using the WNU over the Windows XP Wireless
Zero Configuration utility. We offer a site survey, detailed link information, and adapter
diagnosis, to name a few.
It's essential to know which utility is managing your adapter. We recommend using the WNU.
To use the WNU:
1 Right-click on the network status icon in the system tray and select View Available
Wireless Networks.
2 Click Advanced in the lower left-hand corner of the Available Wireless Networks
window.
3 From the Advanced tab, uncheck Use Windows to configure my wireless
network. After the box is unchecked, click OK to close the window.
You are now using the WNU to configure the card.
