I cannot connect
to an available
network that

(SSID) to be able to connect.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab >
Connections > Advanced tab > Network Card.
2. Select Add New Settings.
3. Enter the network name (SSID).
4. Select the appropriate values in the Connects to: box.
5. If WEP settings are required, tap the Authentication
tab and enter them.
I cannot connect
reliably to an
available
network or
connections
are frequently
dropped.
