Joining a wireless network

As far as I’m concerned, the only two types of base stations are Apple and non-Apple (which includes all 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11g base stations and access points). In the following two sections, I relate what you need to know to get onboard with either type of hardware.

Apple AirPort Base Stations

To join a wireless network that’s served by any flavor of Apple Base Station, follow these steps on each Mac with wireless support:

Click the System Preferences icon in the Dock.

Click the Network icon.

From the Connection list on the left, click Wi-Fi.

Select the Show Wi-Fi Status in Menu Bar check box.

Click the Apply button.

Press +Q to quit System Preferences and save your settings.

Click the Wi-Fi status icon (which looks like a fan) on the Finder menu bar, and choose an existing network connection you’d like to join. The network name is the same as the network name you chose when you set up your AirPort Base Station.
