Some HP Pavilion desktop models are equipped with integrated wireless connectivity. This convenient feature allows you to connect with your business' local area network and the Internet without the need for a cumbersome Ethernet cable. By default, HP displays the small Wireless Network Connection icon (Ref 2) in the task tray by the computer clock. A yellow asterisk on the icon indicates that the computer detects a network but is not connected. If you do not see the icon, the wireless network function is disabled and the network connection has not been set up. To connect to a network, you must first enable and configure the wireless network feature.

Click the 'Start' button, and click 'Control Panel.' Click 'Network and Internet.' Click 'Change adapter settings.'

Right-click on 'Wireless Network Connection,' and select 'Enable' from the menu. Use the back-arrow button to return to the previous window.

Wireless Adapter Not Connected

Click 'Manually connect to a new network.' Click the 'Next' button.

Enter your business network configuration information. For 'Network name,' type in the network's SSID. Select your network's security type and encryption type. Some business networks utilize the WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise types that assign different security keys to every user on the network (Ref 3). If you do not know your network security and encryption type, log in to your router's advanced wireless settings or consult with your business' technician for information.

Type in your router's security key, or wireless password. Tick the boxes 'Start this connection automatically' and 'Connect even if the network is not broadcasting.' Click 'Next' to connect to the wireless network.

Tip

The service set identification (SSID) name on the router must be set to broadcast the network's name so that the computer's wireless utility can detect and connect to the network. Most business networks broadcast their SSID but if you do not see the network name in the list, you must enable the SSID broadcasting feature. Log in to your router by opening your web browser by typing http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 -- depending on your router -- and locate the wireless security settings. Select 'Enable the SSID broadcast,' and click the 'Apply' button. (Ref 1)
