Step 2
Make sure the "Wireless Network Connection" icon does not show "Disabled" under it. If it does, right-click the icon and click "Enable."
Step 3
Double-click the "Wireless Network Connection" icon. Choose the wireless network you'd like to connect to, and click the "Connect" button in the bottom right corner. If a password is necessary, enter it and click "OK." You are now connected wirelessly and can open a web browser to use the Internet.
