Notebook Wireless card Settings Tutorial Introduction

The following is the Notebook Wireless Card Setup Tutorial Introduction:

Due to the convenient characteristics of wireless networks, more and more companies will be the first choice for the company's network layout. After the establishment of the wireless workstation, the rest of the matter is that members of the staff according to their own access to the wireless network in the "roaming." However, to really experience the wonderful from the wireless network, in addition to the wireless AP or no circuit to transmit wireless signals, signal reception device wireless Router is also an indispensable link. After all, the performance of wireless network card is good or bad, directly affecting the speed of wireless internet. Because the wireless card belongs to a kind of new network device, many novice who just stepped into the wireless network are not very clear about its use and setting. With a USB wireless network card--tp-link (model tl-wn220m) as an example of how to debug the wireless network card, for you to bring a bit of help.

Tp-link tl-wn220 random with a very good Configuration software tl-wn220m 3.0 Utility, almost all the functions of wireless network card can be controlled by the software.

After the software is installed, it can be automatically executed after the computer is powered on and the diagram of the connection is displayed in the system tray. To control the wireless card, just double-click the chart in the tray to open the software window to set up (Figure 1).

Notebook Wireless card Settings Tutorial Introduction

Figure 1 You can display all the wireless workstation information detected by the wireless network card in this tab

Feature 1: Show network status

Switch to the Network Status tab to have a clear view of all the information about the wireless connection, including connection status, network mode, network name, channel, and so on. Of course, we can also manually modify the connection information, just click the "Change" button.

Wireless connection can be connected to an AP or wireless router, or point-to-point connection to another wireless network card, simply select "Peer-to-peer" or "infrastructure" in the "Network Mode" section.

There may be more than one network connection in the current environment, so the wireless card may search for multiple SSID (network name). If you only need to connect one of the identified networks, enter the network name into the input box next to Network name. This way, the wireless card will directly connect to the specified network. Of course, you can also check the "Auto Scan Network Name" to "catch" the wireless network in this area, and then make your selections.

The speed of the wireless network card is an item that can not be neglected, because the rate of data transfer directly affects the effect of the connected wireless connection. You can choose the best rate in the Drop-down menu next to send rate. However, note that if the "Peer-to-peer" network mode is selected, the rate settings for each wireless network card in the system must be consistent.

When all the settings are complete, you can set up a wireless network connection by clicking the Connect button (Figure 2).

Feature 2: Network scanning

With the wireless card installed, the surrounding wireless network is already within reach. Therefore, the surrounding wireless workstation information is the first to understand. For example, when waiting for a flight in the airport terminal, suddenly there is the need for wireless internet, at this point must find a suitable connection point for wireless internet, and network scanning can help.

Go to the Network Scan tab, since the wireless network card is already working and scanning the surrounding wireless networks (that is, receiving the signal sent by the wireless network), the software will list all the wireless workstations in the area that can be detected, including the connection point type, network name, channel, Transmission rate and other information. If the wireless network is encrypted, then the name of the network will have a red key icon, so that only users with the correct network key can connect, that is, must be in the "Transfer key index" and "network key" and other columns to fill in the correct content.

Identify the access point you want to connect to, just select the connection point, and then click the Connect button to connect to the wireless network. If you fill in the correct encryption information, you can establish a valid connection.

Tip: If you don't have the SSID you need in the list, you can click the Refresh button to make multiple lookups after the device that determines the desired SSID is working properly.

Feature 3: Data statistics

Want to know how much "contribution" the wireless card has made? Configure the software statistics to tell you everything!

Switch to the Statistics tab, which includes items such as connection status, signal, and so on. The operating mode of the network card, the identifier of the connection workstation and the MAC address can be found here, and the signal intensity received by the network card is also displayed with a very intuitive graphic.

The data Statistics list lists the results of the network card data transfer, including the size of "send Success", "Send Failed", "receive success" and "Receive failed" packets. You can also learn more about the data by clicking the Details button.

If you feel that you do not need to use the wireless card temporarily, you can turn off the wireless information of the network card by checking the "Turn off radio" checkbox so that the NIC will be idle. When you need to re-enable it, simply uncheck the check box (Figure 3).

Feature 4: Encryption

If multiple wireless encrypted connection points are present in the region, and the different access points are often connected as needed, the encryption capabilities provided by the software can be maximized. Imagine, if each switch access point to reset the key, then the operation is too cumbersome a bit. Setting up the software allows us to set up multiple keys to communicate with routers or APS with different passwords on the network.

Select the type of data encryption "WEP" and select the number of "Transfer key indexes" based on the number of keys you want to set. If you do not use a variety of cryptographic passwords, you can set this value to "1". Next, you can enter the appropriate password in the Key entry box below, based on the number of digits encrypted per access point (Figure 4).

Feature 5: Information

You typically want to see some common information about a network connection, such as an IP address, MAC addresses need to go into the Properties dialog box for this connection, and now you just need to go to the Information tab of the Setup software, including drivers, hardware versions, MAC addresses, IP addresses, and so on, glance, The user is greatly facilitated (Figure 5).

In addition to the features described above, you can create different wireless connection settings within the Profiles tab based on different environments and activate the profile as appropriate. It can be said that with the software set up, the wireless card will be "in control"!

Generally speaking, the wireless card will be equipped with its own special configuration software, appropriate application configuration software can be more full and reasonable use of wireless network card, but also can take a lot of detours, and the use of various configuration software is similar.
