Using the Belkin Wireless Network Utility
How to Access the Belkin Wireless Network Utility
Double-click on the “Signal Indicator” icon located in the lower right
corner of your screen (in the system tray) to bring up the Belkin
Wireless Network Utility. The color of the icon reflects the connection
link—green indicates that the Card is connected and red indicates
that the Card is not connected to a wireless network.
You can also double-click on the Wireless Network Utility shortcut
icon on your desktop window.
If the icon is not present, click on “Start > Programs > Belkin > Belkin
Wireless A+G Network Utility” to bring up the Utility.
Monitoring the Status of your Network Connection
Click on the “Status” tab to monitor the link status of your network
connection. From this tab you can see your current connection status
on the screen. The example below shows that there is a connection
between the computer and the wireless router (or access point) by
displaying a wireless signal and the word “connected” in between the
two. The diagram below also shows there is a connection between the
wireless router (or access point) and the Internet, to view the status of
the router to the Internet click on the “Internet Status” button.
(a) Signal Strength
Displays the signal strength of the related router (or access point).
(b) Connect to Network
Displays the current network SSID, the network name of the
router (or access point) you are connected to.
(c) Network Type
Displays either “Access Point” if connected to a router (or access
point) or “Ad-Hoc” when connected to another computer.
