On your Mac, click the Wi-Fi status icon
in the menu bar, click Other Networks, then click Other at the bottom of the Other Networks list.If the Wi-Fi status icon isn’t in the menu bar, see Use the Wi-Fi status menu.
Enter the network name.
Click the Security pop-up menu, then choose the type of wireless security.
Enter the mode, identity, user name, and password, as required.
The fields that appear depend on the type of wireless security for the network. You may not need to enter all of these items.
