the Move up and Move down buttons.
Alternatively, if you have more than one network access profiles defined, you can specify the
connection you want to use by clicking

The list shows all the connections you have defined which are within range of an access point.
Highlight the one you want to use, enter a Network Key (if appropriate) and then click on Connect.
