How do I check if I'm online?

→ PC

1. To see if you are connected to a WiFi signal on a PC, navigate to the bottom selection bar or dock. This is where you will see a Wi-Fi symbol (a cone-shaped tool with four curved bars) at the far right, followed by things such as the time and date.
2. Click the Wi-Fi symbol, and select your preferred network. If necessary, enter the password. When a connection has been established successfully, it will say “connected, secured” under the Wi-Fi name. It will also show your connection under “network settings”, where the Wi-Fi name will appear in a blue box.
3. If something occurs, you can click “network settings” to see more details. Next to “status”, it should say “connected”.
4. The Wi-Fi symbol’s bar will appear to be filled in depending on the strength of the internet signal.  All four bars filled in means a strong connection, one filled in means a weak signal, and none filled in means no connection.
