- Go to Start > Settings > Connections > WIFI (the Wireless LAN icon will provide you with details on a selected WIFI network. Useful perhaps when the network is hidden)
- In the list of networks select the desired one and click connect or tap on the network name (notice whether it says Available orUnavailable and aim for the former)
- Leave Network name as is (actually you can't change it anyway I think) and leave Connects to to The Internet, click Next
- On the next screen for most practical cases select for Authentication: SHARED (most folks leave it at OPEN and just waste time trying to figure out why the connection is not working)
- Select WEP for Data Encryption (this is a very common setting)
- Uncheck the The key is automatically provided checkbox (you'd need to enter it) and enter the network key (that you hopefully know) into the Network key box (note: this should usually be a 5-digit key)
- Leave Key Index to 1 (these are the common settings I'm discussing. If they're different in your particular case its probably because you already know more or have someone that does so you should be talking to your network admin if this is the case to get the exact details)
- Leave the rest at what it is, click Next
- Leave everything at default (Use IEEE 802.1x ... checkbox and EAP type)
- Click Finish
If u r displayed with Unsecured Network Then just click on that network and you will now be able to surf internet!
