Connecting to WIFI with JAWS?

Hello listers,

Santa brought me an early gift of a laptop, and I'm trying to figure out how to 
access the WIFI feature with JAWS 11 (Windows 7). To access any available WIFI 
signals, however, you have to click on a graphic in the lower right-hand corner 
of the screen, but JAWS doesn't see it. If I go to the system tray, and select 
the item which gives online status, and  then hit the escape key, I can then 
use the laptop's left mouse button to click on this graphic, which then shows a 
list of available WIFI signals. This work-around is a bit cumbersome, plus JAWS 
does not tell me if there are any WIFI signals available until I take this 
action.

Do any of you folks who use WIFI know of any JAWS-friendly methods or utilities 
which can make this easier to do?

Alan
