F INDING AND C ONNECTING TO A WLAN
Ask your network administrator for the necessary security settings for your
WLAN. If the WLAN uses 802.1x, WPA or WPA2, you need to install
authentication certificate(s) before you can connect. Refer to the Wi-Fi
Companion User’s Guide for instructions on the Socket certificate utility.
1. In the main screen of Wi-Fi Companion, tap on the tower icon, or tap
Tools | Wi-Fi Finder.
2. Wi-Fi Finder will appear, listing WLANs detected in range. Tap on any
WLAN in the list to view additional properties.
If desired, tap on the Type or Sort by drop-down menus to change how
the list is displayed.
If your WLAN is not listed, tap Refresh at the bottom of the screen.
3. If Wi-Fi Finder cannot find your WLAN because its SSID (network name) is
hidden, tap New at the bottom of the screen.
A wizard will launch to help you create a profile for your network.
Complete the wizard, entering the security settings obtained from your
network administrator.
