How to connect to Wi-Fi

Step 1: set up your wireless router Most internet providers now supply wireless routers as standard. When setting up one, it’s important to provide appropriate security so that your computer can’t be entered by anyone but you.

Step 2: Check that your computer has a built-in wireless adaptor. Up-to-date laptops generally have one, but most desktop computers don’t.

 To check whether there’s a built-in adaptor, follow these steps: - 1- Click the Start button. 2- Right click Computer. 3- Click Properties.

4- Click Device Manger

 If there is a Wi-Fi adaptor, a Wi-Fi icon should also appear in the system tray in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.  If you don’t have a wireless adaptor, you’ll need to buy one to plug into one of your computer’s USB ports.

Step 3: To connect to a wireless network, click the Wi-Fi icon.

Step 4: To connect to a network, just click on its name. If it’s a secure network and it’s the first time you’ve used it, you’ll need a password. If you’ll be using the same connection regularly, you can tick the box to connect automatically.

Step 5: To connect to a wireless network, click the Wi-Fi icon.
