network adapter installed. This can be a USB adapter, PC Card
adapter, or PCI adapter. When you install the adapter, make
sure that it is set to infrastructure or access point mode
(NOT ad-hoc or peer-to-peer mode). If you need help
installing your wireless adapter or setting its mode, refer to the
documentation that came with it. After you install the adapter,
see Connecting a Wireless-enabled Computer to the X6.

Go to the wireless-enabled computer that you want to add to
the network. The computer should have software that will let it
perform a site search to scan for available wireless networks
in your area. When the SSID (Service Set Identifier) of your
wireless network appears in the list—the SSID is zoom—
select it as the network you want to use to connect to the
Internet.
Tip!
For most wireless adapters, you will use its wireless
configuration manager software and click a Scan button or
select a Site Scan, Scan Networks, or other similarly named
tab to do a site search. If you need help, refer to the
documentation that came with your wireless adapter.
