Wireless Network Connection

Connecting Another Computer To Your Wireless Network

These step by step instructions will guide you through connecting an additional computer to your existing wireless network, even if the router is not BROADCASTING the name of the network. These instructions are for Microsoft Vista operating system but are similar to the XP operating system.

  1. Make sure you have your normal computer on and connected to your wireless network.
  2. At your normal computer, put your pointer over your network connection icon to see the name of your network. Below you can see it named "yournetwork".
  3. Go to the computer that you want to connect to the wireless network and click START, then CONNECT TO.
  4. Click on SET UP A CONNECTION OR NETWORK.
  5. Click on MANUALLY CONNECT TO A WIRELESS NETWORK
  6. Then click the NEXT button.
  7. Choose WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION from the drop down list.
  8. Then choose NEXT.
  9. Enter your network name (that you got from the other computer) in the NETWORK NAME blank, then choose the security type in the drop down list under the Network name (this will usually be WEP), then type in the security key (usually a 10 alpha/numeric code), make sure both boxes are checked below, then click NEXT.
  10. In the next window, choose the CONNECT TO option.
  11. In the next window you should see the new network connection that you set up even if it is not broadcasted by the router. If necessary click CONNECT and give the computer 30 seconds to connect to your network.
  12. Please leave a tip, see the bottom of this page.
