Mac OS X
If Mac OS X receives signals of wireless networks in the current environment
this will be indicated by the symbol for the wireless network connection in the
status area of the menu bar.
If Mac OS X sees wireless networks without security settings in the current environment,
a message appears after booting the computer stating that you can connect your
computer to an open network. Even if your router has no security settings in the default
mode, you should avoid working with an unsecured wireless network. First carry out the
security settings of your router.
ì
Click the symbol for the wireless network connection in the status area of the menu
bar.
