Wifi

Hi,
I'm totally new to q4os. I am not a Linux geek, just a user trying to avoid trashing an old 32 bit Dell laptop (Inspiron E1505).

Right now my wifi is on and that's how I'm connected to the internet with my other computer, (the computer I'm using to post this.)

When I hover over the earth symbol at the bottom right side of the screen, it reads:

Device: wlp11s0
State: Disconnected
Device: eth0
State: Down

When I click the earth symbol, the top reads:
Wireless Connection (wlp11s0)
Niska (WPA/RSN)

To the right of the bottom line is an image of a blue lock, and what looks like a signal strength gauge. Niska is the name of my wifi.

All that I'm looking for is where to enter my wifi password to login and I cannot figure it out.

Your help is appreciated.

Re: Wifi

With the Plasma desktop, a right click on the network icon present in the tray shows a shortcut to the network configuration.

Re: Wifi

I don't know which desktop I have. Right clicking or left clicking both close the connections window.
