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

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

security settings.
