To remember your current wireless network, first log out or set up a wireless network, then choose your network again from the list. You will see a new option allowing you to remember the network when entering your password. Once you have remembered some wireless networks, you can return to Manage Wireless Networks and select Manage Remembered Wireless Networks to enable or forget them.
