  1. If your connection is successful, your AirPort icon in the menu bar will become bold and show the signal strength (based on how many bars are bold – like this ). Once you have configured this, your computer should recognize when it is in a wireless area at GSD and should automatically connect. If you are in a wireless areas and can’t connect, turn AirPort off and then on again (through the AirPort Status Icon). This will usually fix the problem.
