To enjoy the benefits of WiMAX, you need to subscribe for service with a WiMAX network service provider. This process takes a few minutes to complete the next steps:
NOTE: For most laptops, WiFi and WiMAX cannot operate at the same time. In these laptops, if WiFi is connected, turning on WiMAX will disconnect WiFi. You should now close any WiFi connections.
NOTE: If a program other than Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiMAX Connection Utility is managing your WiMAX adapter, you need to remove that program from the computer. Then reboot the computer.
Perform the following steps to subscribe for WiMAX service with a service provider.

NOTE: During this process, your firewall application may ask your permission to allow communication between the WiMAX service provider's web site and your computer. To complete the activation process, you will need to allow this communication.
You are connected to <Network name>. If you have not yet subscribed for WiMAX service with <Network name>, please take this opportunity to do so. Your web browser may open automatically (it could take up to 30 seconds). If not, click here to open it.
