Dell Control Point Connection Manager

Latest versions are terrible to use.


For a new wifi network, it will take the average user quite a few minutes particularly if they aren't very handy with this product (and it is NOT intuitive).


1. Discover the network name.  Use Troubleshooting and View Available Networks
2. Go to Connections and find the network, then hopefully see button for ADD PROFILE
3. Got through the process of setting up the Profile.
4. Head to Profiles, find the on you created, right click and choose Connect.


Other info - says start in Profiles and add a new one, and do a few steps, and view the networks etc
