8.  Use the up / down key to choose the WiFi adapter, then use tab to highlight OK then enter key.

9.  Select scan, then tab over to OK and then enter key.

10.  Choose an open slot (usually the first one).  If you want to connect to multiple WiFi points, repeat this process.

11.  The system will scan your network for available WiFi access points.

12. Choose your point NOTE:  If the search turns up nothing, repeat this process.  If still nothing, disable / enable the WiFi adapter, then try again.

WARNING:  DO NOT disable the WiFi adapter remotely, always do this local to the network and only if you also have an ethernet cable plugged in and activated for backup.  If the WiFi is disabled you will lose the connection to be able to turn it back on again.
