Note to Windows XP Users: You must disable the Wireless Zero Configuration Utility in order to use the bundled Wireless Utility. Please follow the steps below to disable XP’s wireless utility. Step 1 Double-click on the Wireless Network Connection Icon in the system tray and then click on Properties or Advanced. Step 2 Go to the Wireless Networks tab, uncheck the “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings” check box and click OK. If the Wireless Networks tab is not available, it means that Wireless Zero Configuration has been disabled. You can ignore this step. Open the Airlink101 Wireless Monitor utility by double clicking on the Airlink101 Wireless Monitor Utility icon in the system tray at the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. Step 1 Click on AP List tab and select a Network Name (SSID) from the list you want to connect to and click Connect. Step 2 If encryption is not enabled for the selected access point / router, skip to step 7. Otherwise, enter a Profile Name for your wireless setting and click Next. Step 3 Verify that the Network Name matches the wireless network you selected to connect and click Next. Step 4 Verify that the Authentication Mode and Input Method match to your wireless router’s settings and click Next. Step 5 Input the encryption key for your wireless network and click Next. 10 Step 6 Keep the default IP Setting and click Complete. Step 7 You should see a blue circle around the antenna icon indicating a valid connection. 11 Step 8 Go to the Link Information tab and click on the More button. Step 9 Verify that you are receiving adequate Signal Strength and Link Quality and that you have been assigned a valid IP address (instead of all 0’s). 12 If you do not have adequate Signal Strength, try re-orienting the Access Point and/or the USB Adapter by using the USB Extension Cable included in the package to get a better reception. Troubleshooting If you are experiencing problems with the connection (unable to connect, low signal strength, slow connection speed, not working, unstable wireless connection) you may want to tune your router’s signal by changing the frequency (if your router supports 5 GHz) and channels on the router. You do not need to change the frequency or channel on the Adapter; it will automatically pick up the new settings after you reboot the router. For instructions on changing channels, refer to the documentation that comes with the router. 13 4. Use Wireless Monitor Utility This section describes the various functions of the Wireless Monitor Utility that you can configure, including the settings of wireless encryption. 4.1 Link Information The Link Information tab shows the current profile in use as well as details of the current network connection. Click on the More button to see the details of the current network connection. 14 The Wireless Information displays the current wireless network you are connected to as well as various other statuses such as the Signal Strength and your assigned IP address. 15 4.2 AP List The AP List tab displays all the available wireless networks detected by the USB Adapter. Simply select the desired wireless network you wish to connect to and click Connect. The Site Information displays a list of status for the selected AP, including the Channel number and the Encryption status. 16 4.3 Configure Encryption Settings This section describes how to configure encryption settings for the Dual Band Wireless N USB adapter. Note: The encryption settings you set for the Adapter must match the same settings of the Access Point / Wireless Router; otherwise, the adapter will not be able to connect wirelessly. Step 1 From the AP List tab, select the Access Point/Wireless Router you want to connect to and click Connect. 17 Step 2 Verify the Profile Name is correct and click Next. Step 3 Verify the Network Name (SSID) is correct and click Next. 18 For WEP Settings: WEP Step 4.1 Select the appropriate Authentication Mode and Encryption settings and click Next. WEP Step 4.2 Enter the appropriate Input Method, Key (password), Key Index, and click Next. 19 For WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK Settings: WPA Step 4.1 Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK and the appropriate Input Method and click Next. WPA Step 4.2 Enter the Key and click Next. 20 Step 5 Keep the default IP Setting and click Complete to finish the settings. Step 6 You should see a blue circle around the antenna icon indicating a valid connection. A lock icon beside the antenna indicates the connection is encrypted. 21 4.4 Profile Setting The Profile Setting tab lists all the profiles you have created. You can create new profiles for different network environments. To add a new profile, follow the steps below: Step 1 Click on the Add button. Step 2 Enter a name for your new profile and click Next. 22 Step 3 Enter the SSID (Network Name) of the wireless network you want to connect to and click Next. Step 4 Configure any encryption setting if required and click Next. 23 Step 5 Keep the default IP Setting and click Complete to finish the profile setting. Step 6 Your new profile will be listed in the Profile List. Step 7 You can quickly select which profile you want to use from the Link Information tab depending on your network environments without having to reconfigure the settings each time. 24 4.5 Configure IP Setting To change the IP settings of the wireless adapter, follow the steps below: Step 1 On the last step of 4.4 Profile Setting, under IP setting, select Enable and click Next. Step 2A Select Enable for DHCP Status if you want to get IP address automatically from DHCP server. Click Complete to finish the setting. Step 2B Select Disable for DHCP Status if you want to use static IP. Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Server information. Click Complete to finish the setting. 25 4.6 WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) Airlink101 Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter has an innovated built-in WPS (WiFiProtected Setup) feature which can synchronize and build a connection between any WPS support router safely and easily. You have two options for WPS wireless connection: PBC (Push Button Configuration) and PIN (Personal Identifier Number). If your wireless router does not support WPS feature, you can skip this section. In the instructions below, we are going to use the Airlink101 Dual Band Wireless N Router AR725W and Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter AWLL7025 as the example. 4.6.1 PBC (Push Button Configuration) Step 1 Go to the computer with the USB adapter connected. Push and hold the WPS button on the bottom of the Adapter until you see the WPS window pops up on the computer monitor. WPS window: Step 2 Push the WPS button on the Router, and the blue LED will start blinking. 26 Step 3 The Router will now start the handshake with the wireless adapter. When you see the window below, the wireless connection has been established. 4.6.2 PIN (Personal Identifier Number) Step 1 To use the PIN method, go to Link Information tab, and click on WPS button. 27 Step 2 Click on Rescan button. The wireless router or AP you wish to connect to should appear in the list. Write down the PIN code on a piece of paper. Step 3 Go to a computer that is connected to the router (with a wire or wirelessly). Log in to the Router’s web configuration page from a web browser. Step 4 Click on Wireless Tab. Enter the PIN code and click Register. Within the following 2 minutes, go to the wireless client computer and do Step 5. 28 The router will start to search for the WPS enabled device with matching PIN code. Step 5 Select the Router/AP you want to connect to and click on PIN button. The progress of the WPS connection will be shown in the status bar to tell you that it is successful or failed. If it is failed, verify that you type in the correct PIN code in the Router’s configuration page and click the PIN button to try again. 29 4.7 About The About tab shows the Utility, Driver, and Firmware version as well as the MAC address of the Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter. 30 Appendix A – Specifications Standards • IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 • IEEE 802.11 a / b / g Frequency Band • 2.4 / 5Ghz System requirement • Windows Vista (32/64 bit), XP, 2000 • Available USB slot • Recommended use with Airlink101 Dual Band Wireless N Router AR725W Interface • USB 2.0 Weight • 21g Antenna type • 2 Integrated Antennas Dimensions • 94 x 11 x 10mm (L x W x H) Security • WPA-PSK(TKIP) • WPA2-PSK (AES) • WEP 64/128 bits • WPS Push Button/PIN Temperature • Operating: 0ºC to 40ºC • Storage: -10ºC to 75ºC LED • Link / Act QoS • WMM Humidity • Operating: 10% to 85% NonCondensing • Storage: 5% to 90% Non-Condensing Warranty • Limited 1-year warranty Safety Approvals • FCC, CE, IC 31 Appendix B – Information Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
