Click here for instructions to enable the wireless connection. 2. Right click the Wireless Network Icon and and select **View Available Wireless Networks**.

3. Most likely you'll get a screen that looks like the one below. Alternatively it may show a list of networks and signal strength in the white area. In either of these cases continue with the instructions below. **However** if in the white area of the screen it says "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection..." Then you will need to disable the Dell or Intel wireless utility
