Joining a Network
During the WN311B software installation, the Smart Wizard lists the available networks. After
installation you can use the Join a Network button on the Network tab at any time to view the
available networks and select the one that you want to use.
To join a network:
1. Use the icon to open the Smart Wizard. On the status bar, click Join a Network.
2. If the Smart Wizard detects an access point or router with WPS, it displays the WPS screen
(Figure 2-4 on page 2-6). WPS is described in “Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Connect to a
Wireless Network”. To connect without using WPS, select No, and click Next.
3. Select a network from the drop-down list. If you select a hidden network, then you must enter
the SSID. Click Next.
4. Follow the steps of the wizard to specify the wireless security if used, and to create a profile.
5. Review your settings, and click Finish.
Note: Make sure that you know the security settings for the network that you want to use.
For example, if WEP is used then you need to know the WEP key. If you use
secure networks frequently, set up profiles for each network with the wireless
network and security settings.
