Finding a Network
During the WN711 software installation, the Smart Wizard lists the available networks. After
installation you can use the Find 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 find a network:
1. Use the icon to open the Smart Wizard.
The Settings tab page opens.
2. On the Networks tab page, click Find a Network.
3. Select a network from the drop-down list. If you select a hidden network then you must enter
the SSID. Click Next.
Note: Make sure that you know the security settings for the network that you want to use.
For example, if Wired Equivalent Privacy (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.
