Problem:
Why are there two wireless utilities in my system tray?
Which one do I use?
Solution:
There are several features and advantages from using the Belkin
Wireless Networking Utility over the Windows XP Wireless Zero
Configuration utility . We offer a site survey, detailed link information, and
adapter diagnosis, to name a few .
It’s essential to know which utility is managing your Adapter . We
recommend using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility . To use the
Belkin Wireless Networking Utility, follow the steps below:
Step 1
Right-click on the network status icon in the system tray and
select the “Status” tab .
Step 2
From the “Status” tab, uncheck the “Use Windows to configure
my wireless network settings” box . Once the box is unchecked, click the
“Close” button to close the window .
You are now using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility to configure
the Adapter .
Problem:
The Adapter does not perform or connection is unstable when computer
has a second built-in wireless network card (such as a mini PCI or
Intel
®
Centrino™) .
Solution:
This condition occurs if your computer has a built-in wireless card while
your Belkin Enhanced Wireless USB Adapter is also active . This happens
because Windows must now handle two active wireless connections .
You must disable the built-in wireless card from your computer under
“Network Adapters” in the Device Manager .
Problem:
The Adapter does not perform or connection is slow when computer has
a built-in wired Ethernet card .
Solution:
This condition occurs if your computer has an active Ethernet card while
your Adapter is also active . This happens because Windows must now
handle two active network connections . You must disable the Ethernet
card from your computer under “Network Adapters” in the Device
Manager .
