Connect to Wi-Fi

You can use the Wi-Fi menu to quickly connect to a nearby wireless network.

  1. Click the Wi-Fi icon (  or  ) in the menu bar.
  2. If Wi-Fi is off, choose "Turn Wi-Fi on."
  3. Select a nearby Wi-Fi network from the list.

The strength of each nearby network is shown next to its name. More darkened bars indicate a stronger network connection.

Enter your PTS user name and password

Networks that have a lock icon next to their name require a password. After you select your network, enter the network password when you're prompted. If you don't know the network password, check with the owner of the Wi-Fi network you're trying to join.  Make sure the "Remember this network" box is checked so that you will always connect to the PTS Secured Wireless network wherever that network is available.
