Step 1: Disable Additional Network Connections

Unless needed for a specific purpose, do not use more than one network connection simultaneously. We recommend the use of wired network connections when you are near a wired outlet. Otherwise, make use of our extensive wireless network.
  • To temporarily disable additional wireless network connections, follow these steps:
    • Windows XP: Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon on the menu bar (lower right corner). From the pop-up, select Disable.
    • Windows Vista: Right-click the connection icon on the menu bar (lower right corner). From the pop-up, select Disconnect from (Connection).
    • Mac OS X 10.4+: Select the wireless icon on the Menu Bar. From the pop-up menu, select Turn Airport Off.
  • To disable a wired connection, simply unplug the connection.
