    1. Press <Fn> + <F3> to access the communication manager. Here you can turn on the Wi-Fi connection by clicking on the red button next to Wi-Fi.

    Note: 3G and Bluetooth are also accessible through the communication manager. Communication devices vary by model.
    2. Click the internet network icon on your system tray and choose the wireless access point you want to connect to.

    You should be able to see the possible connections from your internet access icon at the right-bottom screen. Network Sharing Center should guide you through connecting to available wireless units, etc.

     

    They will also be listed in Start>Devices and Printers>"Add a Device" (it will search automatically for any installed devices).

     

    As well as:

    Control Panel>Device Manager>Network Adapters

     

    The different models of 533 had varying wifi options, and your unit might possibly not have any wifi units installed.

    Hi Keith,

     

    Thanks again,  On my device manager theres a red x mark notifying that theres no available connection.  (but my wi-fi is on) Im just wondering if i dont have any networks adapters or hardware on my AO533 but theres a sticker on my netbook that this netbook is wifi certified. About the add a device its still on process but its already 15mins for finding a device. Lol.
