\marginnote{To improve speed and reliability of your connection, try to move closer to your router or access point.} Ubuntu is usually able to detect any wireless networks that are available within range of your wireless card. To see a list of wireless networks, click on the NetworkManager icon. Under the ``Wireless Networks'' heading, you should see a list of available wireless networks. Each network will be shown with a name on the left, and a signal meter on the right. A signal meter looks like a series of bars \dash the more bars that are filled in, the stronger the connection will be.

A wireless network may be open to anyone to connect, or may be protected with network security. A small padlock will be displayed next to the signal meter of any wireless networks that are protected. You will need to know the correct password in order to connect to these.

To connect to a wireless network, select the desired network's name from the list. This will be the name that was used when the wireless router or access point was installed. If you are in a workplace or a location with a publicly accessible wireless network, the network name will usually make it easy to identify.
