Connecting to a Wireless Network

To connect to your wireless router you will need to know your wireless network name and password. These will be printed on a card or sticker supplied with your router.

  • Click the network icon in lower right hand corner of your screen.
  • You'll see a list of available wireless network appear. Find your router's name from the list and select 'connect'.
  • You'll be asked for the network security key. This is the wireless key shown on the sticker or card which came with your router. Please enter the exact password as it is written on the sticker/card.
  • You might be asked to choose what type of network this is; home, work or public.
  • You may then be asked to create a 'Homegroup'. If you're not going to use the Homegroup feature, or if you're unsure as to what this means, click 'Cancel'. If you do want to set up a Homegroup, select 'Next' and follow the prompts on screen.

You should now be connected to your wireless network. If you're not using a Windows computer, or would like any additional guidance, our tech support team will be happy to help.
