There are two ways to configure wireless connection:
1. Using the software provided the built-in wireless network card.
2. Using Windows Wireless Connection Settings.

To use Windows for wireless connection, go to Control Panel -> Network
Connections, right click the wireless network card icon and choose
properties. From there, you shoud see a second tag named "Wireless Network".
You can configure wireless connection there. If you don't see the tag, that
means the "Wireless Zero Configuration" service is not started. You can then
go to Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Services -> Wireless Zero Configuration
to start it and set it to start automatically. After that, you will see the
"Wirelss Connection" tag.

Hope it helps.
