Network connections on page

Your computer's built-in network features make it easy for you to

connect your computer to the internet using a cable or a wireless

connection.

First though, in order to connect to the internet, you'll need to sign up

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 network

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.

Your computer's wireless connection is turned on by default and

Windows will detect and display a list of available networks during

setup. Select your network and enter the password if required. You

can use the network management options to turn your wireless

network on/off or control what is shared over the network.

To connect to a wireless network, please follow the steps below.

1. Ensure you have a wireless router/access point and current internet

connection through the ISP of your choice. Make a note of the

wireless network's name and password (if necessary).

Note

Please refer to your ISP or router documentation for details on connecting to

the internet.
