1.  Ensure that the wireless adapter to be connected to the network is set to infrastructure mode. For instruction in 

changing your adapter's wireless mode, see your wireless adapter's documentation.

2.  Set the network name or SSID in the wireless adapter's settings to the Network name that is used on the access 

point. You can find the network name for the access point on the 

Status

 page. 

3.  Ensure that the wireless security settings for the wireless adapter match those that you set on the access point. 

You can find the wireless security settings for the access point on the 

Status

 page. For instruction in changing your 

adapter's wireless security settings, see your wireless adapter's documentation.
