Thanks to the WiFi technology gone were the days were we had to do our assignment, work or play games on the internet at home linked to a dial up at home, broadband at the office or internet cafe.
Today, we can access the internet anywhere and practically, everywhere when there is a WiFi signal for us to freely access. Plus, with the latest software we have, connecting to a WiFi can be done with the following simple steps.
Check if your computer's wireless transmitter is turned on. Latest models have build-in units, but if your computer does not have one, you can purchase an affordable wireless transmitter which is often plug in the processor's card slot for a desktop or plug in a USB port for laptops.
After setting up the wireless transmitter, the next step is to determine whether the wireless transmitter is working and can discover available network in the vicinity.
A network or a number of networks may be available for you to connect to the internet which you would be prompted to choose from the list.
For those who are still using their old computers, they may have to install a software program that would permit your computer discover and link your computer to the wireless connection.
Normally a dialog box with a list of wireless connections and the corresponding strength of the signal would appear for you to choose from. Signals are measured by the number of bars they register just like the ones on a cellular phone.
Finally, you have to realize that you cannot link through all connections because some lines are private which requires passwords that are often encrypted. Avoid private ones unless you are invited by the owner who would give you the password. After choosing the ideal network, you can now easily link. It is that simple.
