If the network is unprotected (\ie, the network signal meter does not display a padlock), a connection should be established within a few seconds. The NetworkManager icon in the top panel will animate as Ubuntu attempts to establish a connection. If it connects successfully the icon will change to display a signal meter. A notification message in the upper right of your screen will also appear, informing you that a connection was established.

If the network is secured, Ubuntu will display a window called ``Wireless Network Authentication Required'' once it tries to connect. This means that a password is required in order to connect.

If you know the password, enter it in the \textfield{Password} field, and then click \button{Connect}. As you type your password, it will be obscured to prevent others from seeing it. If you prefer, you can select the \checkbox{Show password} option to see the password as you type.

After you click the \button{Connect} button, the NetworkManager icon in the top panel will animate as it tries to connect to the network. If you have entered the correct password, a connection will be established and the NetworkManager icon will change to show signal meter bars. Again, Ubuntu will display a pop up message in the upper right of your screen informing you that a connection was established.

\marginnote{Select the \checkbox{Show Password} option to make sure you haven't made a mistake when entering the password.} If you entered the wireless network's password incorrectly, NetworkManager will attempt to establish a connection then return to the \window{Wireless Network Authentication Required} window. You can attempt to enter the correct password again, or click \button{Cancel} to abort your connection. If you do not know the password to the network you have selected, you will need to get the password from the network administrator.

Once you have successfully established a wireless network connection, Ubuntu will store these settings (including the network password) in order to make it easier to connect to the same wireless network in future. You may also be prompted to select a \emph{keyring} password here. The keyring stores network and other important passwords in the one place, so you can access them all in future by just remembering your keyring password.

If you have previously successfully established a wireless connection, that connection's password will be saved on your computer. This will allow you to connect to the same network without having to re-enter the password.
