Searching for networks to access

Networks that you have already configured are preferred networks and can be found in the iPAQ
Wireless screen > Settings > Wireless Networks list box. You can choose whether to connect only to
preferred networks or to have your HP iPAQ search for and connect to any available network
(preferred or not).
To search for networks to access:
• From the iPAQ Wireless screen, tap Settings > Wireless tab.
• In the Networks to access box, tap the type of network you want to connect to (All Available, Only
access points, or Only computer-to-computer).
• To connect only to networks that have already been configured, clear the Automatically connect to
non-preferred networks checkbox.
Note: If you check the Automatically connect to non-preferred networks checkbox, your HP iPAQ detects any new networks
and provides you the opportunity to configure them.
