Mac OS

The status of a wireless connection is displayed in your computer’s taskbar: 
1.    Place the mouse pointer over the network icon, which can be found in the taskbar in the top right-hand part of the screen.

2.    The status of your wireless network will be displayed in a pop-up window. 

 
The pop-up shows a list of all the available networks found by the Mac. The Mac is connected to the network (the router) if a tick (V) appears in front of its name (“Your Network” in the example).
