2. Select "View network connections" under "Network Tasks".
3. Select "Wireless Network Connection" in the "LAN or High-Speed Internet"
list.
You can view "Details" in the column on the left to see basic connection
information.
4. Double-click "Wireless Network Connection" to get the "Wireless Network
Connection Status" dialog box.
5. Select "Properties" to get the "Wireless Network Connection Properties"
dialog box.
6. Click on the "Wireless Networks" tab, if necessary.
From this point you can perform several configuration tasks.
To set the wireless communication mode click on the "Advanced" button
and select the mode you want.
To set the network name (SSID) and encryption click on the "Add" button
under "Preferred networks" and fill in the network name and encryption

to the "Wireless Networks" screen, you may need to use the "Move up" button to
move the network name to the top of the list.
