1 Go to the computer that is set up with a wireless adapter that you want to add to
the network. The computer should have software that will let it perform a site
search to scan for available wireless networks in your area. When the Wireless
Network Name (SSID) that you set in step 4 of the Setup Wizard of your

your wireless adapter might not recognize what type of security is on the network.
You may need to manually set up the security for your adapter. If you need help,
refer to the documentation that came with your wireless adapter.
¾ Windows 7, XP, and Vista users: If you installed a wireless adapter on a
Windows 7, XP, or Vista computer, Windows may try to automatically configure the
