• If you don’t see the network name to connect to, you may need to get closer to the router/modem.
• The network name usually includes the router/modem name, model number as well as the manufacturer’s name (if the network has not been set up before).

• If you haven’t changed your network password from the factory defaults, look for the password on the label, usually on the bottom or back of your router (or modem and router combo device).
• If the network does not have a password, the computer will be connected to the Internet after you clicked Connect in the previous step.

• If the password is not correct, you will be prompted to enter it again.
