Note: If the network that you are attempting to connect to is using encryption, you will be prompted to enter the network key.

Using the Profiles Manager View
Using profiles is a convenient way to quickly and easily connect to networks if you travel between multiple wireless networks. For example, your primary wireless network may be at home, but you also use a wireless network at work and also at the local café. Each of these networks likely has different settings. For instance, the network at your workplace uses encryption, but home and the café don’t. Also, each of these networks has a different name. Trying to keep track of these differences just got easier with the profile manager. Every time you successfully connect to a network, the profile manager will remember that network’s settings for a later time. This means that after the first time you connect your computer to the network at your workplace, you won’t have to reenter the encryption settings again. The profile manager will recognize the network and automatically connect to it. You can also create custom profiles, delete profiles, and edit profiles when needed.
