Updating Wireless Network - Windows 7

This entry is a bit of a bespoke entry for a forum member who is having a bit of trouble.

Basically, he needs to enable WPA2 on his WiFi network and had some questions about what he would need to do on a Windows 7 Laptop.

The instructions that follow offer a simple example of what he would need to do.

Click the Start Orb

Select Control Panel

Click on Network and Internet

Click on View network status and tasks

Click on Manage wireless networks (Left hand pane)




Select the appropriate network

Click Remove

Click Yes

Close the "Manage wireless networks that use ..." window

Click the Network Icon in the System Tray




Select the desired network

Ensure the "Connect automatically" box is ticked

Enter the password when prompted



Done.
