= I can't see my wireless network in the list =
There are a number of reasons why you might not be able to see your wireless network on the list of available networks from the system menu.

* If no networks are shown in the list, your wireless hardware could be turned off, or it may not be working properly. Make sure it is turned on.
* You could be out of range of the network. Try moving closer to the wireless base station/router and see if the network appears in the list after a while.
* The list of wireless networks takes time to update. If you have just turned on your computer or moved to a different location, wait for a minute or so and then check if the network has appeared in the list.
* The network could be hidden. You need to connect in a different way if it is a hidden network.
