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.

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.

Warning

Using wireless devices while flying in aircraft may be prohibited. All

wireless devices must be switched off before boarding an aircraft and

during take-off, as they may be dangerous to the operation of the

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.

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.

Acer computers feature an Airplane mode hotkey that turns the

network connection on or off. You can use the network management
