the rest of the information is still displayed.

During the WN111v2 software installation, the Smart Wizard lists the available networks. After 
installation you can use the Join a Network button on the Network tab at any time to view the 
available networks and select the one that you want to use. 

To join a network:

Note: Make sure that you know the wireless security settings for the network that you 

want to use. For example, if a network uses WEP, you must know the WEP key in 
order to connect to it. If you use secure networks frequently, set up profiles for each 
network with the wireless network and security settings.
