# Using the Wi-Fi Library
The Wi-Fi features of LinkIt 7697 are provided through the **LWiFi** library. Its interface is very similar to the Arduino Wi-Fi library, therefore most of the examples should work without needing modifications.
## Scanning for Nearby Wi-Fi Network
The board comes with an **LWiFi library** that provides nearly the same interface as the Arduino's WiFi library. In this section, you'll learn how to run the **ScanNetwork** example, which shows a list of nearby Wi-Fi access points, the steps are as follows:
1. Select **File > Examples > LWiFi > ScanNetworks**.
2\. Click the **Upload** button and wait for the **Done Uploading** message to appear.
3\. Click the **Serial Monitor** button in the toolbar, as shown below:
4\. Adjust the **Baud rate** setting to **9,600**. A list of nearby access points and their signal strength should appear in the output window, for example.
You can press the onboard **RST** button to re-run the sketch without having to reconnect to the serial monitor. This is because the **RST** button only resets the MT7697 SoC but not the CP2102N chipset. The COM port is always available even when the SoC has been reset.
### Connecting to a Web Server
```
char ssid[] = "yourNetwork"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "secretPassword"; // your network password (use for WPA, or use as key for WEP)
```
```
// Make a HTTP request:
client.println("GET /linkit_7697_ascii.txt HTTP/1.0");
client.println("Host: download.labs.mediatek.com");
client.println("Accept: */*");
client.println("Connection: close");
client.println();
```
```
