How to auto-connect Fossapup to wifi on boot? (Solved)

I have noticed that since using my laptop connected to internet via wifi EVERY TIME I boot to Fossapup I am not connected automatically to the internet and have to select 'connect' and then enter the router's password which is annoying.
Is there a method to set up to retain this data so that whenever I boot up fossapup that it automatically logs into the internet or at least remembers the password?

Did you shutdown making a save to store all settings and are booting using the save?
Booting using the normal boot menu entry?
Do not use the boot menu entry that says RAM only.
That boots not using the save.

You have to be doing something wrong in the setup for the WIFI connection.
Autoconnection works for me and most people with no problem.

The only way to know what you are doing wrong is for you to give in detail what you are doing.
What network connection Wizard are you using?
Simple network setup?
Frisbee?
Network Wizard?

When making the WIFI connection setup.
Step by step what do you do?
You do what?
You see what?

Thanks bigpup.
It's now working ok. I used Barrys Simple network connection to set it up but may have forgotten to select 'set as default'. All good now.
My only excuse for missing that is this damned 10" screen and my ageing eyes.

You can increase the global font size.
menu->Desktop->JWMdesk Manager->Screen Font->Size tab->Choose global fontsize
.
Carefully read and follow info on the size tab to change setting.

May not help with every program.
