Finding a Network

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.

Follow the steps below to Find a Network.

The Smart Wizard initiates your wireless connection. You can use the Status Bar to verify your
network connection. For more information, see

“The Smart Wizard Status Bar” in Chapter 2

.

Note: Make sure that you know the security settings for the network that you want to use.

networks frequently, set up profiles for each network with the wireless network and
security settings.
