Network Connections and Wireless Security

2-1

This chapter explains how to use your NETGEAR RangeMax™ NEXT Wireless PCI Adapter 
WN311B to connect to your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and how to set up wireless 
security for the WN311B so that it matches the wireless security settings for your network. 

When you have installed the WN311B software from the NETGEAR CD, the 

 icon appears 

on your desktop and in the Windows system tray. The Windows system tray is located on the 
Windows taskbar. You can either double click this icon on the desktop, or click it in the system tray 
at any time, to use the Smart Wizard. This software automatically restarts when you reboot your 
computer. 

The Smart Wizard provides a complete and easy to use set of tools to:

•

Choose the network that you want to use

•

Configure wireless settings for your wireless PCI adapter

•

Monitor wireless network connections

•

Save your settings in profiles

•

Remove or reinstall the wireless adapter software

The following sections in this chapter explain how to use the Smart Wizard. 

Note: These instructions explain how to use the NETGEAR WN311B Smart Wizard to 
change the WN311B wireless settings. If you use Windows XP, and chose the Windows 
XP configuration utility during installation, then you must disable it now. Open the 
network connections from the system tray icon, click the Properties button, click the 
Wireless Networks tab and then clear the “Use Windows to configure my wireless 
network settings” check box.
