How to Connect to the Wireless Internet in Vista
- 1). Click on the "Start" button and then click the "Connect to" option.
- 2). Select the wireless network from the list of networks displayed on the screen. Networks that have a yellow "!" over them are unsecured networks, meaning that anyone can connect to these networks and they may be unsafe to use.
- 3). Click the "Connect" button to initiate the connection process. If the network is unsecured, you will be asked to confirm that you wish to connect to the network. If the network is secured, you will see a prompt where you need to enter in the network access key.
