The Network connections window is displayed, and Windows resets your network device and

attempts to reconnect to one of the preferred networks.

Current network security codes are unavailable

If you are prompted for a network key or an SSID when connecting to a WLAN, the network is protected

by security. You must have the current codes to make a connection on a secure network. The SSID and

network key are alphanumeric codes that you enter into your computer to identify your computer to the

network.

●

For a network connected to your personal wireless router, review the router user guide for

instructions on setting up the same codes on both the router and the WLAN device.

●

For a private network, such as a network in an office or at a public Internet chat room, contact the

network administrator to obtain the codes, and then enter the codes when prompted to do so.

Some networks change the SSID or network keys used in their routers or access points on a regular

basis to improve security. You must change the corresponding code in your computer accordingly.

If you are provided with new wireless network keys and SSID for a network, and if you have previously

connected to that network, follow these steps to connect to the network:

1. Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections.

A list showing the available WLANs is displayed. If you are in a hotspot where several WLANs are

active, several will be displayed.

2. Right-click the network, and then click Properties.

3. Click the Wireless Networks tab.

4. Select the network, and then click Properties.

NOTE: If the network you want is not listed, check with the network administrator to be sure that

the router or access point is operating.

5. Click the Association tab, and then enter the correct wireless encryption data into the Network

key field.

6. Click OK to save these settings.

WLAN connection is very weak

If the connection is very weak, or if your computer cannot make a connection to a WLAN, minimize

interference from other devices, as follows:

●

Move your computer closer to the wireless router or access point.

●

Temporarily disconnect other wireless devices such as a microwave, cordless phone, or cellular

phone to be sure that they are not interfering.

If the connection does not improve, try forcing the device to reestablish all connection values:

1. Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections.

2. Right-click the network, and then click Properties.

3. Click the Wireless Networks tab.

A list showing the available WLANs is displayed. If you are in a hotspot where several WLANs are

active, several will be displayed.

4. Select a network, and then click Remove.
