Connecting your Laptop PC to a wireless network gives you the advantage of being able to move
-
around inside your house, while you remain connected to the internet. In this video,
-
let us see how to connect your Lenovo PC to an existing wireless network.
-
Before we begin, make sure your Wireless Router is turned on, and is connected to the internet.
-
Power up your PC and click the Wi-Fi icon in the System Tray near the clock. You should
-
now see the list of Wireless networks available for you to connect. Select your wireless network
-
from the list. If your network is not listed, it is possible that it is a hidden network.
-
If so, scroll down to select Hidden Network. Check “Connect automatically” if you want
-
the laptop to automatically connect to this network when it is available. This will ensure
-
that you need not repeat this process every time. Click Connect. You will be prompted
-
to enter the Network Name or SSID in the next screen. If your wireless network is secured
-
and has a security key or a PIN, you may be prompted to enter that. Type the Security
-
Key and click Next. The first time you connect to a Wireless Network, you may be prompted
-
to choose if you want to enable sharing. If it is a Home or Personal network, you may
-
choose to Share files and folders or even printers. But if it is a hot spot or public
-
network, Do not enable sharing. That’s it, your system should now be connected to the
-
wireless network. If you are connecting to a hot spot or a wireless network in an airport
-
etc., you may have to complete the authentication formalities using a web browser. But if it
-
is your home network, you should be online. Thank you.
