4. Click the Apply button once the SSID has been entered successfully. Once that has been done there are two places you can visually check for indications that you have successfully joined the wireless network.
   
   One place is the menu bar checking for signal strength… these should be excellent to Good black signal bars. If they are grey you have not successfully joined the wireless network.
   
   
   
   The second is in the System Preferences (Where is this? See Step Two: Part Two) …there should be a green light beside the Airport connection. If not then you have not successfully joined the wireless network.
