# Connettersi a una rete WiFi

Se il proprio computer è dotato di una scheda per reti WiFi, è possibile collegarsi a una rete WiFi per accedere a Internet, visualizzare i file condivisi all'interno della rete.

Open the system menu from the right side of the top bar.

Select Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi section of the menu will expand.

Click the name of the network you want.

If the name of the network is not shown, scroll down the list. If you still do not see the network, you may be out of range, or the network might be hidden.

Se la rete è protetta da una password (chiave di cifratura), digitare la password quando richiesta e fare clic su Connetti.

If you do not know the key, it may be written on the underside of the wireless router or base station, or in its instruction manual, or you may have to ask the person who administers the wireless network.

L'icona di rete cambia aspetto mentre il computer tenta di connettersi alla rete.

If the connection is successful, the icon will change to a dot with several curved bars above it (). More bars indicate a stronger connection to the network. Fewer bars mean the connection is weaker and might not be very reliable.

If the connection is not successful, you may be asked for your password again or it might just tell you that the connection has been disconnected. There are a number of things that could have caused this to happen. You could have entered the wrong password, the wireless signal could be too weak, or your computer’s wireless card might have a problem, for example. See for more help.

Una connessione più forte alla rete WiFi non implica necessariamente una connessione a Internet più veloce o la possibilità di scaricare file più velocemente. La connessione senza fili collega il computer al dispositivo che fornisce la connessione a Internet (come un router o un modem), ma le due connessioni sono diverse e hanno diverse velocità.
