follow these steps to learn how to form a proper connection.
Please note: Before establishing any connection you will need to have the network name or SSID;
the password if necessary; your encryption type - like WEP or WPA;
and the wireless standard used by your network.
First make sure you have your router or access point properly set up.
Consult your internet service provider, or the router's instructions to verify.

On some models, you may be asked to press Function and the F8 key simultaneously.
Consult your user manual for more information.
Now click on the Wireless Network icon in the bottom corner of your screen.
Choose the name of your preferred wireless network, and click Connect.
If prompted, enter in your wireless password, and click OK.
Your wireless connection will now be established.
