Like most things on an Apple computer, connecting to a wireless network is very easy to do.
However if this is the first time you are using your Mac to connect wirelessly, this guide will take
you through the steps necessary to connect to any wireless network in range of you computer.
1. The first thing that you need to check is that your wireless hardware (or AirPort) is enabled
and turned on. If you can see the wireless icon in the menu bar in the top right hand corner,
you can skip down to step 5 below. If it isn’t, move on to step 2.
2. Click on the Apple Icon in the top left hand corner of your screen, and click on the System
Preferences from the drop down list. Once the system preferences window has loaded up,
click on the ‘Network’ button.
3. Highlight the AirPort entry so it is shown in blue as below and click on the configure button
at the bottom of the list.
