1. Open the Control Panel from your Start Menu.

 



 

2. Open Network Connections.

 



 

3. Right click on your Wireless Network Connection and select Properties.

 



 

4. Select the Wireless Networks tab.

• Check the "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings."
• Click "Add."

 



 

5. Under the Association tab:

• In the Network name (SSID) enter: guest
• Data encryption "Disabled"
• Click "OK."

 


   Click Continue Anyway if prompted.
