Windows 7 / Networking

Managing Wireless Network Connections

Most small networks use just a single wireless connection-the connection to your network's wireless access point. However, it's no longer unusual to have multiple wireless networks configured on your computer. For example, you might have two or more wireless gateways in your home or office; you might have a wireless hot spot nearby; and as you see in this section, Windows 7 also enables you to set up computer-to-computer wireless connections to share files or an Internet connection without going through a wireless access point.

Windows 7 comes with a Manage Wireless Networks feature that lists your saved wireless networks and enables you to add new wireless connections, reorder the connections, and remove existing connections. This section shows you how to perform these and other wireless networking tasks.
