Enter the key and click *OK*, then wait a couple of seconds. The network icon will flash briefly to show that a connection is being made. When connected, the icon will stop flashing and show the signal strength.

If you want to use a hidden network, use the *Advanced Options* > *Connect to a Hidden Wi-Fi Network* in the network menu:

Then, enter the SSID for the hidden network. Ask your network administrator which type of security your network uses; while most home networks currently use WPA & WPA2 Personal security, public networks sometimes use WPA & WPA2 Enterprise security. Select the security type for your network, and enter your credentials:
