Select the Wireless Internet Service Provider

After you have selected the Wireless Network Connection, a new window opens which will show all the available networks. When you checked into your hotel you should have received the name of the Wireless Internet service provider or perhaps when researching which hotel to use, you obtained that information.
In my case, i-Hotel is the Wireless Internet provider for my hotel.
As you may note in the diagram, there was another wireless network that my laptop detected. When I initially set up my connection there were four other networks including the i-hotel service and the one shown. Those other four were not security-enabled and I had access to the SSID for each.
Note:
If you plan to share Internet access and have brought a wireless access point with you, be sure to set the router settings to not broadcast the SSID.
