Finding a Network
During the WN311B software installation, the Smart Wizard lists the available networks. After
installation you can use the Find a Network button on the Network tab at any time to view the
available networks and select the one that you want to use.
To find a network:
1. Use the icon to open the Smart Wizard, and the Settings tab page opens.
2. On the Networks tab page, click Find a Network.
3. Select a network from the drop-down list. If you select a hidden network then you must enter
the SSID. Click Next.
4. Follow the steps of the wizard to specify the wireless security if used, and to create a profile.
5. Review you settings, and click Finish.
The Smart Wizard initiates your wireless connection. You can use the Status Bar to verify your
network connection. For more information, see
“Smart Wizard Status Bar” on page 1-7 .
Note: Make sure that you know the security settings for the network that you want to use.
For example, if WEP is used then you need to know the WEP key. If you use
secure networks frequently, set up profiles for each network with the wireless
network and security settings.
