<h2> What You Need to Connect to Wi-Fi </h2> All modern smartphones, tablets, and computers come with a built-in wireless network adapter. If you're using an older device, or if your internal Wi-Fi adapter is broken, you can purchase a USB Wi-Fi adapter. If the network is secured with a password, or the administrators have hidden the network name (SSID) from being broadcast, you&#39;ll also need to find out that information to get connected.

If you have forgotten the password to your home network, your wireless security key may be found on the bottom of your router if you didn't change the defaults when setting up your network. Mac users can view forgotten passwords in the Keychain Access app.
