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 Wireless
Network Utility. The color of the “Signal Indicator” 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 Desktop Card >
Wireless Network Utility” to bring
up the Utility.

connection. From this tab you can see your current connection status on
the screen. The example below shows that there is a connection between

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
