Configuration

This section describes how to configure your NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter WG311

for wireless connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and use the data security

encryption features.

Understanding the Configuration Options

The WG311 configuration utility provides a complete and easy to use set of tools to:

• Configure wireless settings.

• Monitor wireless network connections.

• Save your settings in configuration profiles.

The section below introduces these capabilities of the configuration utility.

Using Configuration Profiles

The WG311 configuration utility uses profiles to store all the configuration settings for a particular

wireless network.

You can store multiple profiles and recall the one which matches the

network you want to join.

Note: The instructions in this section refer to the NETGEAR WG311 configuration

utility. Windows XP users must first disable the Windows XP configuration utility.

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.
