Connecting to a wireless network using Microsoft® Windows Vista

After installing your wireless network adapter (please refer to product documentation for details), Windows Vista™ makes it very easy to connect to any wireless networks in range.
To begin, go to the Start Menu and click on Connect To:
This will bring up the Connect to a network window, which lists all networks Vista can currently connect to. This includes any dial-up connections that have been configured previously. Networks are usually listed either as Unsecured network or Security-enabled network.

In these cases, it will suffice to highlight the network you wish to connect to and click the Connect button at the bottom of the window. Windows will prompt you for a password if you are attempting to connect to a secured network.

It is possible that the settings stored on your computer will not match those of the wireless network, e.g. if a previously unsecured network has been secured. In this case, you will need to right-click on the network you wish to connect to and select Properties.
