Connect to a Wireless Network
You can connect to a wireless network with one of the following methods.
● Automatic connection: If an existing profile matches an available network, you are
automatically connected to that wireless network.
● Configure a new profile: Select a wireless network from the list of wireless networks in the
Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility main window. Click Connect. If you
successfully connect, a profile is created in the Profiles list for future use.
● Connect to a profile in the Profiles list: You can select a profile from the Profiles list. To
activate it, click Connect. This lets you connect to a network that is lower in the list (if it is
available).
● Right-click the Taskbar icon located in the lower right corner of your Windows desktop. Right-
click Connect to Profile. A list of previously configured profiles is listed. Select a profile.
First Time Connection
The WiFi connection utility automatically detects wireless networks that are within range of your
wireless adapter. When a network is found, a desktop alert notification displays: Wireless networks
found. See
Taskbar Icons for more information.
