Typically most non-Linksys branded wireless adapters have their own built-in Configuration utilities.  If unsure on how to use them, please see the Wireless Adapters documentation or contact the Manufacturer of the Wireless Adapter.  If Windows XP is being used, then the Wireless Adapter may use Windows XP’s built-in configuration utility, which would be the same configuration as Linksys products under Windows XP.  If this is the case, try the following instructions:

  1. Click on the Start button and click on the Run option.
  2. When the “Run” window opens, type ncpa.cpl into the “Open” field and click on the OK button.
  3. When the “Network Connections” window opens, right click on the Wireless Network Connection icon and click on the View Available Wireless Networks option.
  4. Click on the SSID that the Wireless Network is using (linksys is the default SSID on all Linksys Wireless products).
  5. After clicking on the SSID of the Wireless Network, there will be either a check box stating, Allow me to connect to the selected network, even though it is not secure, or “Network Key” and “Confirm network key” fields. 

·         If there is a check box, check it, then click on the Connect button

·         If there are “Network Key” and “Confirm network key” fields, then input the Wireless Networks WEP Key, then click the Connect button.
