3.1 MEDIATEK WIRELESS UTILITY (Mediatek) OR WINDOWS ZERO
CONFIGURATION (WZC)
As the title suggests, two types of wireless utilities are possible. The Windows Zero Configuration
provides the basic wireless networking configuration whose user interface is consistent across various
Windows Operating Systems from XP, VISTA to Windows 7; and the more sophisticated Mediatek
Wireless Utility (Mediatek) with the WPA supplicant functionality.
As soon as Windows starts, you could invoke the Mediatek Wireless Utility from the “All Programs”
Start Menu (see above) so that the Mediatek icon appears at the lower right hand corner of the
computer screen.

Or you may setup the network connection using the Windows Network and Sharing Center (also known
as Windows Zero Configuration, WZC). Windows 7 is used for the purpose of illustration.
Mediatek works in parallel with WZC. When WZC is active, Mediatek provides only the monitoring
function, such as showing the link stats, network status, statistic counters, advance feature status,
WMM status and WPS status. It won’t interfere with WZC’s configuration or profile functions.
