Windows 7 users may use the built-in wireless utility to connect to a wireless network. If you are using another company’s utility or Windows 2000,
please refer to the user manual of your wireless adapter for help with connecting to a wireless network. Most utilities will have a “site survey” option
similar to the Windows 7 utility as seen below.
If you receive the Wireless Networks Detected bubble, click on the center of
the bubble to access the utility. You can also click on the wireless icon in your
system tray (lower-right corner).
The utility will display any available wireless networks in your area.
