Finding and Connecting to a WLAN
Ask your network administrator for the necessary security settings for your WLAN. If the WLAN uses 802.1x,
WPA or WPA2, you need to install authentication certificate(s) before you can connect. Refer to the Wi-Fi
Companion User’s Guide for instructions on the Socket certificate utility.
1. In the main screen of Wi-Fi Companion, tap on the tower icon or tap Tools | Wi-Fi Finder.
2. Wi-Fi Finder will appear, listing WLANs detected in range. Tap on any WLAN in the list to view additional
properties.
If desired, tap on the Type or Sort by drop-down menus to change how the list is displayed.
If your WLAN is not listed, tap Refresh at the bottom of the screen.
3. If Wi-Fi Finder cannot find your WLAN because its SSID (network name) is hidden, tap New at the bottom of
the screen.
