Â

Make sure you’re within range of the other computer or the network’s access
point. Nearby electronic devices or metal structures can interfere with wireless
communication and reduce this range. Repositioning or rotating the computer might
improve reception.

Â

Check the Wi-Fi status icon (Z) in the menu bar. Up to four bars appear, indicating
signal strength. If signal strength is low, try changing your location.

Â

Get help online by choosing Help > Help Center, and then searching for “wi-fi”. Also
see the instructions that came with the wireless device for more information.
