Joining an Available Wireless Network 

By using the Broadband Network Utility, you can view any network that is within range 
and broadcasting its wireless network name (SSID). To join an available network, you 
simply select the network from a list of available networks and then change the 
wireless security settings of your adapter to match the settings of the network you 
want to join.

1. Start the Broadband Network Utility. 

2. On the Tools menu, click Adapter Settings. 

3. In the Wireless Adapter drop-down list, make sure that a Microsoft wireless adapter 

is selected. 

4. Click Available Networks. 

5. From the list of available networks, select the network you want to join.  

6. If WEP or Wi-Fi Protected Access™ (WPA) is enabled on the network you are joining, 

type the key or passphrase in the Network Key box.  

7. Click Connect.
