Connecting to a Wireless Network in Microsoft
Your wireless network card requires specific software and drivers in order to connect to a
network. The software is already installed. If the software is removed or corrupted, follow the
instructions included in the user's guide for your wireless network card. The user's guide is
available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
When you turn on your computer, a pop-up appears from the network icon in the notification
area (located in the lower-right corner of the Windows desktop) whenever a network, for which
your computer is not configured, is detected in the area.
1 Click either the pop-up or the network icon to configure your computer for one of the
available wireless networks.
The Wireless Network Connections window lists the wireless networks available in your area.
