is this a prompt connection? this suggestion is for prompt connections: If there quite isn't a password, then all you want to do is tell your laptop, "connect with any community in variety." yet likely your chum in simple terms would not recognize how he connects because some pc individual set it up for him very last 3 hundred and sixty 5 days and he would not recognize what the setup is, and hasn't ever messed with it.
