Either at the 'tray' (lower right of your screen) or elsewhere you need to find all your network(s) and specifically 'Wireless' network(s). Once you locate that icon or location, you then need to get it to 'Show available' and if you cannot figure out -- always remember to try RIGHT-click
Thanks for getting back to me. I am ignorant in the wireless lingo. Please explain what I need to do so I can get (SSID) and I don't know if it needs WEP.
When you see 'Wireless' (SSID) in Show all wireless networks, you need to highlight it and click the button "Connect" (or DOUBLE-click may achieve the same result). You must have the value of your WEP key and, in order to type it, may need to CLEAR a checkbox which says "WEP key provided automatically"
If the wireless access point requires a WEP key and you have not typed the correct one then even with a strong signal, you will not be allowed to get web pages. Alternatively, you COULD configure the access point to turn off WEP until you get the connection to work.
The wireless access points I have dealt with are DLink and Aeronet 1200 and 1100 but not Dell TrueMobile 2300 router
Generally, you take an Ethernet cable and connect directly to the device (access point) and run IE (web browser), then type the TCP/IP address of the device
//http:192.234.123.1 (as a stupid example -- use the actual number of yours) to get to the menu which allow you to create and modify the settings. I am not certain but believe that once you make the changes and exit you also need to 'reset' (power off and on) the device (access point) or is it the Modem to get the changes to take effect. Someone?
AsBBraxton said, it is best to connect to the router with an ethernet cable, then use the web based configuration tool as described in the users guide under "Managing Your Router".

RIGHT-click and select 'Show all available wireless'
What is the name (SSID)? Does your wireless access point require WEP?

mr4007,
The users guide for the TM 2300 is at:
