The Windows operating system also provides tools to help you set up a new wireless network. To use the Windows tools to set up your network:

●Windows 7—SelectStart > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Set up a new connection or network > Set up a network. Then follow the on-screen instructions.
