Turn on your wireless adapter if it is not already on. A wireless symbol is usually present above the keyboard on most laptops or as a button near the top of the keyboard. This symbol looks like a small tower. If lit, wireless is on. If wireless is not enabled, press the wireless button on your laptop. If no button is present, look for the wireless symbol on a function key at the top of the keyboard. Press the Fn button along with the appropriate wireless function key to activate wireless functionality on your laptop. Click the network icon in the notification area. The icon looks either like a computer with a plug or a set of five signal bars. Select a network from the list of available networks, then press Connect. Enter the network password if prompted.
