"Manually connect to a wireless network" option missing... WTF?
yeah. I have a new compaq laptop running vista home.

I am trying to setup and connect to my wireless network manually.

I go into network + internet, network and sharing center, and click "set up a connection or network"

in other versions of vista there is usually a "Manually connect to a wireless network" option.

BUT IT'S MISSING NOW. SO HOW DO I ENTER MY SSID MANUALLY? WTF?

No wonder why people say vista sucks.



How can I select Manually connect to a wireless network + enter my SSID so I can connect?

Thanks

Well... If you go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > on the left side of the window click Manage network Connections you should see your wireless network, double click it, click Wireless Profiles > Security and there you can manually setup your wireless security options
