How to Connect to a Wireless Network in Windows 8

Windows 8 does a lot of things well, however one of the things it doesn?t do well is make it easy for users to connect to a wireless network.?Here?s how to connect to a wireless network in Windows 8.

With the advent of smaller, thinner and lighter computers there has never been a more important time for Microsoft to allow users to easily connect and switch wireless networks, especially with Windows 8.

Though Windows 8 ships as the only operating system on desktops, its more important form factors (that is laptops and tablets) no longer ship with network internet ports. Instead, these devices only have wireless cards that allow users to connect to local Wi-Fi network.

Until now, devices running Windows 7 and Windows Vista shipped with third-party tools that focused on enabling wireless connectivity. While useful, these utilities often lacked cohesive interfaces and didn?t integrate well with the rest of the operating system.

From anywhere, including the Start Screen, open the Charms Bar by swiping to the left from the right side of the screen on touch-based Windows 8 PCs, or placing your mouse cursor in the top right hand corner of the screen.

If your wireless hardware is turned on and there are available Wi-Fi networks in your area, you?ll find a list of wireless networks to choose from. In our example we?re trying to connect to is called ?harlemPhone.?
