It is recommended that you enable wireless security (WPA/WPA2) on your wireless router or access point
before configuring your wireless adapter. If you are joining an existing network, you will need to know the
security key (Wi-Fi password) being used.
1. To join an existing network, locate the wireless network icon in the taskbar next to the time display.
2. Clicking on this icon will display a list of wireless networks that are within connecting proximity of your
computer. Select the desired network by clicking on the network name.
3. You will then be prompted to enter the network security key (Wi-Fi password) for the wireless network.
Enter the password into the box and click Next.
4. If you wish to use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to connect to the router, you can also press the
WPS button on your router during this step to enable the WPS function.
5. When you have established a successful connection to a wireless network, the word Connected will appear
next to the name of the network to which you are connected to.
