Venturi Tab
The last WWAN specific option is the "Venturi" tab ("Tools," "Preferences," "Venturi" tab):
The Venturi compression software works in the background between your computer and Venturi compression servers on the Verizon Wireless network to improve your performance when using the NationalAccess - Mobile Broadband, NationalAccess or Quick 2 Net (14.4 kbps) connection. This option is selected by default and allows VZAccess Manager to automatically turn the Venturi compression software on when you use VZAccess Manager to connect via Mobile Broadband, NationalAccess or Quick 2 Net, and off when you disconnect.
Unselecting "Compress and accelerate WWAN connections" will cause VZAccess Manager to no longer toggle the Venturi compression software on and off when using Mobile Broadband, NationalAccess or Quick 2 Net. The recommendation is to leave this option selected because it helps in most cases. There are some rare situations where you may get better performance by turning the compression software off, so the option is available. You can also control the compression client through its user interface.
Wi-Fi Specific Settings
The following options are available if you selected "detect Wi-Fi" device during setup. If you have added a Wi-Fi device after having installed VZAccess Manager, you can select "Options," "Run Wizard" to run the setup wizard again.
If you connect your Wi-Fi device after VZAccess Manager has been started and you are in coverage of a Wi-Fi network, selecting "Options", "Refresh Networks" will cause VZAccess Manager to recognize your Wi-Fi device (and WWAN if connected) and scan for available networks.
