Ubuntu Tutorials - Herong's Tutorial Examples

∟Network Connection on Ubuntu

∟Connect to Wi-Fi with GNOME Settings

This section provides a tutorial example on how to use GNOME Settings to connect to Wi-Fi service.

If you are running a Ubuntu computer at home, you can follow what I did to connect your home Wi-Fi service.

Open Settings from GNOME application launch screen.

Click on Wi-Fi in left side bar. I see a list of Wi-Fi services detected in my neighborhood.

Double-click on my Wi-Fi service name and enter my modem password. My computer automatically connects to my modem, which was installed by my Internet service provider.

Once connected, I can review the connection properties by clicking the setting icon on your modem line.

The "Details" tab of the Wi-Fi property screen shows: 

 Signal Strength: Excellent 
        Security: WPA2 
    IPv4 Address: 10.0.0.2 
    IPv8 Address: ... 
Hardware Address: ...
   Default Route: 10.0.0.1 
             DNS: ...
