How do I add a PC to my wireless network

If you have a wired computer that you are trying to add to your wireless network, make sure you connect the PC directly to the LAN port of the router. If you have a wireless computer that you are adding to your network make sure that:

• You have a wireless card and the drivers are installed properly.
• Distance between the router & PC should be in the range of 30 to 35 ft max.
• There is no cordless phone base unit or microwave oven near the network. This could interfere with the frequency of your router.

Now to actually add the PC to your network:

• Click on Start and go to Control panel. Double-click on Network connections and right-click on wireless network connections.
• Select View available networks and check if your wireless network name figures in the list.
• If you see your network, select it and click on Connect. If you have any encryption for your network, make sure that the network key is entered correctly.

• Your PC will now be added to your wireless network. To verify this go to Network connections and right-click on wireless network connections. Select View available networks and check if your wireless network shows up as connected.
