How Can I Connect Wifi With My Laptop

I have solved this common problem in my Instructable "How to troubleshoot your home network".

Connect Wifi With My LaptopAccessing Wi-Fi with Windows 7
Step 1

Ask the receptionist at the front desk of the motel if there is a security password needed to connect to the motel's wireless network. Write down the password.
Step 2

Turn on your laptop. Locate the wireless network icon that resembles two overlapping computer screens. For Windows 7 users, this icon appears in the lower right corner task bar of your computer screen.
Step 3

Click the name of the motel's wireless network, which is typically the name of the motel you are staying in, from the list of networks that you pull up. Call the front desk and ask the receptionist what the name of the motel's network is if you can't locate it yourself.
Step 4

Click "Connect" to gain access to the network. Enter the security password provided by the motel for security-enabled wireless connections. Some establishments encrypt their networks, so only guests can access wireless connection through a security password.
Step 5

Open your Mozilla Firefox or Windows Explorer Internet browser such to gain Internet access and browse the web. Save the security password in case you get kicked off the network and need to sign back in.
