and follow these instructions to change your selection.

1. Go to Control Panel and select Network Connections.

2. Right click on the connection and select Properties.

3. Click the Wireless Networks tab.

4. Select or clear the WPN111 “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings” check

box.

I cannot connect to the AP that I want from the Networks browser list

The access point is available and there is good signal strength. There are a few possibilities:

• If the access point (AP) is WPA-PSK protected, you will need to have the correct WPA-PSK

passphrase. Otherwise, the WPN111 will still be connected to the previous access point and

you will not be able to change to the WPA-PSK access point.

• If the access point is WEP protected (either 64 or 128 bit encryption), you will be prompted to

enter the WEP encryption security information.

New Hardware Wizard appears after installation has completed

This happens if the USB device is connected to a different port than the one used during

installation. Return the USB device to the original USB port.
