The first step is to have your notebook "talk" to the hotspot, which means that the hardware and hotspot must recognize each other. 1. Turn on your wireless hardware if it’s off 2. Access the software for the 802.11 card -- normally there is an icon for the card down in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen or find it in the Program menu. 3. Click the "Search button" in the software. The card will search for all of the available hotspots in the area and show you a list. 4. Double-click on one of the hotspots to connect to it. On ancient 802.11 equipment (more than 2-3 years old), there is no automatic search feature. You have to find what is known as the SSID of the hotspot (usually a short word of 10 characters or less) as well as the channel number (an integer between 1 and 11) and type these two pieces of information in manually. All the search feature (in newer equipment) is doing is grabbing these two pieces of information from the radio signals generated by the hotspot and displaying them for you. On most notebook models, you will see some sort of signal icon on the bottom right hand corner of your screen or a lit indicator on the notebook itself, which will give you feedback for "On" and signal strength (a red screen means your radio is Off; a green screen indicates it is On). You can also see the quality of the signal by clicking on the radio icon (may vary by system).

5. Your next step is to sign up with a wireless Internet service provider and configure your notebook according to their instructions. Most of the time, this is a matter of simply launching your web browser. It will automatically go to the wireless service provider's sign-in page. If you don't subscribe to a service, You have to purchase access cards to use the service.
