How can I switch to a different Wireless network when using a wireless ethernet adapter/bridge?

Posted on March 30th, 2010 by admin in networking switch | 4 Comments »

I keep getting connected to a wireless network from across the street. The adapter is just like a plug in thing, there is no programs along with it. How do I switch networks?
I am running Windows 98. There is no wireless icon.

Find out what is the manufacture of your wireless card. Go to their website to see if there any Client software for your wireless card for Windows98. Mostly, they should have it. Download and install it in your system.

Anyway, have you right click the Network Neighborhood and check for the properties page there? I think it should have some menu for you to change the SSID network in the wireless card connection. It’s a very long time I’m not using Windows98 any longer, so I rather forget where to find the menu. But try to explore it from there.

Good luck.

    Basically if your using windows to control your wirless just go to the bottom right in system tray and click on the wireless icon. You should see view available networks. From here you can disconnect and choose the one you want.

    yep, it’s the icon on your system tray (bottom right hand corner of your pc screen) and it looks like a computer with three green waves (if currently connected) or a red X (if not connected) right click on that icon and select ‘view available wireless networks’. disconnect from your current wireless and select and connect to any other wireless on the list :)

    depends on what wireless network management software you used but they all have ability to setup profile. From there you can switch between different network or diable any of them.
