WCN and the Wireless Setup Wizard
WCN or Windows Connect Now technology has been recently incorporated by D-Link to quickly
aid the user in setting up a secure wireless environment. Combining the new WCN technology
incorporated by Windows and only available through a PC that has a wireless NIC card and is
running the Windows XP Operating System with Service Pack 2 installed, the user will configure
the wireless settings only once and then save it to a USB flash drive. Once saved, the user may
insert this flash drive into any device on the network that is running wirelessly and the settings will
automatically upload to that device. No more configurations are necessary and all devices will
have the identical access information and wireless information necessary to work smoothly over
your internal LAN. See the explanation below for a better understanding of how to set up your
WCN wireless function.
In Windows XP SP2, click Start >

Communications > Windows

the wizard’s front page, as seen
