for internet services from an ISP (Internet Service Provider) -- usually
a phone or cable company -- that will have to go to your home or
office to set up internet service. The ISP will install a small box, a
router or modem, that will allow you to connect to the internet.

Connecting to a wireless LAN
A wireless LAN (or WLAN) is a wireless local area network, which can
link two or more computers without using wires. Once connected to
WLAN, you can access the internet. You can also share files, other
devices, and even your internet connection itself.

aircraft, disrupt communications, and even be illegal. You may turn on
your computer's wireless devices only when informed that it is safe to
do so by the cabin crew.

Windows will detect and display a list of available networks during
setup. Select your network and enter the password if required.
Acer computers feature an Airplane mode hotkey that turns the
network connection on or off. You can use the network management
