<p class="p">You may have to check the settings of the wireless access point or router
99
to see what the network name is. If you don’t have the network name (SSID),
100
you can use the <span class="em">BSSID</span> (Basic Service Set Identifier, the access
101
point’s MAC address), which looks something like <span class="gui">02:00:01:02:03:04</span>
102
and can usually be found on the underside of the access point.</p>
103
<p class="p">You should also check the security settings for the wireless access point.
104
Look for terms like WEP and WPA.</p>
