How to Unlock a Wi-Fi Internet Signal
- 1). Open up your laptop and power it on.
- 2). Scan the desktop, after the laptop boots into the operating system, and look for the icon that indicates wireless service. It varies between computers and operating systems. Check the lower-right corner of the screen, since it most often appears there, especially on Windows-based computers.
- 3). Right-click the wireless icon and wait for the menu to pop up. From the menu, select "Available Wireless Networks," or something similar, and review the list of available networks within range.
- 4). Select the wireless network of choice. A pop-up window appears requesting your password to unlock the Wi-Fi network.
- 5). Insert the password into the appropriate field. A secure Wi-Fi network requires a password for access. If visiting an Internet café, a bookstore or coffee shop, these retail outlets usually provide a free Wi-Fi network, access to which may require a password. Request the password from a staff member to access the Internet. If at home, locate the password on the bottom of the wireless router, or ask the person who configured the router for the password.
- 6). Click "Enter" after inserting the password into the appropriate field. This should bring up the Internet.
