The Wireless Networks tab is chiefly consisted of two sections: Available networks and Preferred

choose any listed item in the field and then click Configure, the Wireless Network Properties
dialog box will appear as Figure 3-5 shows. Check the description below the figure to obtain
more information about the dialog box.
¨ In the Preferred networks area, you could add any displayed networks to the list by clicking
over the intended item from Available networks and then selecting the Add button. After
clicking Add, the Wireless Network Properties dialog box will appear as Figure 3-5 displays.
Note that to delete any item under the Preferred networks area, simply click on it and then
select the Remove button. Additionally, you may adjust the items in the list by clicking the
desired item and then choosing the Move up or Move down button. It is, however, important to
