4.3 WI-FI Specific Settings
The following options are available if you selected “detect Wi-Fi” device during
setup. If you have added a Wi-Fi device after having installed VZAccess Manager,
you can select “Options”, “Run Wizard” to run the setup wizard again.
If you connect your Wi-Fi device after VZAccess Manager has been started and you
are in coverage of a Wi-Fi network, selecting “Options”, “Refresh Networks” will
cause VZAccess Manager to recognize your Wi-Fi device (and WWAN if
connected) and scan for available networks.
Wi-Fi Preferences
The options relevant to Wi-Fi are found on the “Options” tab and the “Wi-Fi” tab
under preferences. Select “Options” then “Preferences”.
The first relevant tab is the Wi-Fi tab.
Wireless adapters:
In the rare case you have more than one Wi-Fi adapter, you can select the
Wi-Fi adapter you are using. If your adapter does not appear, try upgrading to the latest
available drivers from the Wi-Fi device manufacturer.
Automatically connect to preferred networks:
If desired, you can select to have VZAccess
Manager automatically connect to your preferred Wi-Fi networks when they are detected.
Automatically switch from WWAN to Wi-Fi:
Requires that “Automatically connect to
preferred networks is selected. When you select this option to automatically switch from
WWAN to Wi-Fi VZAccess Manager will disconnect your WWAN connection (NationalAccess -
BroadbandAccess, NationalAccess, or Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps)) and automatically connect via
Wi-Fi when a preferred Wi-Fi network is detected. WWAN connections are only relevant if
using a 1XRTT/CDMA wireless phone and cable or an 1XEVDO/1XRTT/CDMA PC Card.
Preferred Networks:
When you connect to or add Wi-Fi networks they will appear in this list.
If using the “Automatically connect” feature VZAccess Manager will try to connect to the
networks in the order they appear in this list.
