Step-by-Step Guide to Manually Connecting to a Wi-Fi Device

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network is essential for accessing the internet on your devices. While most devices connect automatically to available networks, sometimes you may need to manually establish a connection. Here’s a simple guide on how to do it:

1. Access Quick Settings:

• Windows 10 and 11: Click on the “Wi-Fi” or “Network” icon located in the taskbar, next to the time and date.
• macOS: Click on the “Wi-Fi” icon in the menu bar, located at the top right of your screen.

2. Select Desired Network:

• A list of available Wi-Fi networks will appear.
• Find the network you want to connect to and click on it.

3. Enter Password:

• If the selected network is password-protected, you will be prompted to enter the password.
• Enter the correct password in the field provided.

4. Click Connect:

• Once you have entered the password, click on the “Connect” button.
• Your device will now attempt to establish a connection to the Wi-Fi network.

Note:

• If the password is incorrect, you will not be able to connect to the network. Retry with the correct password.
• Some public Wi-Fi networks do not require a password. In such cases, simply clicking on the network name will connect you.
• If you are having trouble connecting to a Wi-Fi network, consult the support website or documentation for your specific device.
