English term or phrase: client
If wireless client is not connected to any wireless network, click Advanced else click Properties

Surely the client isn't "Klient" here?

Drahtloser Client-Computer
Explanation:
A Client is a type of computer in a network. Several clients are connected to a server thereby forming a network. A wireless client is a computer that is not connected by cables. Instead of 'drahtlos' you can also say 'kabellos' or 'wireless' (mostly with proper product names though).

"Falls der computer nicht mit einem Netzwerk verbunden ist"

Explanation:
Mit "wireless client" ist ja ein Computer gemeint, der auf ein Netzwerk zugreifen kann, und kein "Klient" oder sonst noch was.

disagree Tikimayer: "Client" ist der gebräuchliche Begriff und definiert den Computer näher, ach wenn er sich in diesem Beispiel eventuell umgehen lässt.

disagree Herbert Fipke: "Client" ist immer der Rechner, der Daten empfängt, "Server" ist immer der Rechner, der Daten versendet. Das sind feststehende Ausdrücke. Computer ist zu ungenau.
