If you think you are in the vicinity of an access point, you can use the SiteSurvey screen to list the ones
available.

To scan for access points using the TEW-509UB, refer to the following.

2. Available wireless networks are listed. Click Refresh anytime to update the list.

Remember, you do not have to turn on your computer to find access points.
You can use the hot spot finder functionality of the WHF-432/230 to locate
access points while you are walking around. See the Quick Start Guide for
details.
