Configuring a New Wireless Network Connection

networks. To connect to an existing network but not appear under Available networks, take the following steps:
1. In Connect to Wireless Network window, click Advanced to launch the Broadcom Wireless Configuration Utility window. Then click Add
under Preferred networks section.
2. In the Wireless Network Properties window, configure the settings below:
Network name (SSID): Specifies the name of the Wireless LAN group you want to participate in.
Network Authentication (Shared mode): Specifies the authentication type. You should use the same setting as the other wireless stations in your
target wireless network.
Wireless network key (WEP): If a network key is required, do the following:
• If the WEP key is automatically provided (for example, the key is stored on the wireless network adapter given to you by your network
administrator), check The key is provided for me automatically check box.
• If the WEP key is not automatically provided for you, leave The key is provided for me automatically check box blank and then enter
the key in the Network key field.
