Click on the "Turn wireless on" button and wait a few seconds so it can scan for available networks. Now look again in the lower right corner of the desktop, only look for the network icon. Looks like a monitor with a weird antenna on the left.
Left-click on the Network icon and a popup menu should appear showing what network, if any, you are connected to at the top and below that, a list of available wireless networks.
When I click on the UHWireless network, the is a warning about information being visible to others, which is due to the UHWireless network not being encrypted. There is also a checkbox to connect automatically when in wireless range and a Connect button.
Click on the Connect button to connect and another windows will appears as it tries to connect to UHWireless. If the network you are connecting to has security enabled, then you should be asked to type in a key or passphrase before it will connect.
Once connected, if this is the first time, you should get a window like the example to the right asking you to choose the location for the network.
Home and Work network are trusted location and are basically the same thing. The Public network is not trusted and security is tighter and some network programs might not work correctly. You should see that you are connected and the location is set to whatever you chose, which for UHWireless is Work. Click the close button. Reduce interference. Some networking equipment uses a 2. This is the same frequency as most microwaves and many cordless phones.
If you turn on the microwave or get a call on a cordless phone, your wireless signal might be temporarily interrupted. You can avoid most of these issues by using a cordless phone with a higher frequency, such as 5.
Security is always important; with a wireless network, it's even more important because your network's signal could be broadcast outside your home. If you don't help secure your network, people with PCs nearby could access info stored on your network PCs and use your Internet connection. Change the default user name and password. This helps protect your router. Most router manufacturers have a default user name and password on the router and a default network name also known as the SSID.
Someone could use this info to access your router without you knowing it. To help avoid that, change the default user name and password for your router. See the documentation for your device for instructions. Set up a security key password for your network. Wireless networks have a network security key to help protect them from unauthorized access.
See the documentation for your router for more detailed info, including what type of security is supported and how to set it up. In Windows 7 or Windows 8. Select Set up a new network , then choose Next. The wizard will walk you through creating a network name and a security key.
Write down your security key and keep it in a safe place. You can also save your security key on a USB flash drive by following the instructions in the wizard.
Use a firewall. A firewall is hardware or software that can help protect your PC from unauthorized users or malicious software malware. Running a firewall on each PC on your network can help control the spread of malicious software on your network, and help protect your PCs when you're accessing the Internet.
Windows Firewall is included with this version of Windows. Select the Network or Wifi icon in the notification area. This has occured a few times now. Sometimes it says "not connected-no connections available" and sometimes it says "not connected- connections are available" when it says connections are available, i try to connect to the network but it says "unable to connect to the network". The only time i have been able to connect to the wireless internet, was when my computer automatically connected to my wireless network without me having to select the network and try to connect.
I have read some things about windows 7 having a "sleeper" mode for wireless connections or something and that may be the cause of it and that it is better to deselect it or downgrade to xp. I am getting really frustrated because i am not able to connect to wireless and i hope you guys can help me find a solution.
