This section provides general troubleshooting tips for networking 
problems, specifically wireless (Wi-Fi

®

) networking.

The terms and concepts used assume a basic understanding of 
networks, and may be for more advanced users. If you need 
assistance or if you are not familiar with the terminology, please see 
Windows

®

 Help and Support or contact your computer technician.

❖

If your computer is equipped with an internal Wi-Fi

®

 adapter, 

verify that the Airplane mode is OFF (the wireless indicator 
light 

 will be lit).

❖

Verify that your computer can detect access points or routers. If 
it can detect a Wi-Fi

®

 access point or router then it may be a 

configuration issue.

❖

Verify that signal strength is good using the utility provided 
with the Wi-Fi

®

 adapter.

❖

If another computer is on the same network, verify that it has 
network access, and can connect to the Internet. If, for 
example, the other computer cannot browse to a public Web 
site, the ISP’s (Internet Service Provider) service may be 
disrupted.

❖

Verify that the Service Set Identifier (SSID), or network 
name, is correct 

- 

i.e., that it matches the SSID assigned to the 

access point you are attempting to connect through. SSIDs are 
case-sensitive. 

❖

Check the Windows

®

 Control Panel's Device Manager to verify 

that the Wi-Fi

®

 adapter is recognized by the Windows

®

 

operating system, and that the driver is loaded. To access the 
Device Manager, from the Start screen begin typing 
Computer, or if you are in the Desktop screen, move your 
pointer over the upper or lower right corner of the screen. 
When the Windows

®

 Charms appear click the Search (

) 

Charm, and then type Computer. Click Control Panel, 
System and Security, and then System. Carefully note any 
error messages - these will be very helpful if you should confer 
with a support technician at a later time.

To enable or disable wireless communication, use the 

F8 key

. For
