							4 Connecting to a network
Your computer can travel with you wherever you go. But even at home, you can explore the globe
and access information from millions of websites using your computer and a wired or wireless
network connection. This chapter will help you get connected to that world.
Connecting to a wireless network
Your computer may be equipped with one or more of the following wireless devices:
●WLAN device—Connects the computer to wireless local area networks (commonly referred to as
Wi-Fi networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate offices, your home, and public places
such as airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and universities. In a WLAN, the mobile
wireless device in your computer communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access
point.
●Bluetooth device—Creates a personal area network (PAN) to connect to other Bluetooth-
enabled devices such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a
PAN, each device communicates directly with other devices, and devices must be relatively
close together—typically within 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) of each other.
For more information about wireless technology, the Internet, and networking, see the information
and website links provided in Help and Support.
▲From the Start screen, type help, and then select Help and Support.
Using the wireless controls
You can control the wireless devices in your computer using one or more of these features:
●Wireless button or wireless key (also called the airplane mode key) (referred to in this chapter as
the wireless button)
●Operating system controls
Wireless button
The computer has a wireless button and one or more wireless devices. All the wireless devices on
your computer are enabled at the factory.
NOTE:Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless button to
turn on or turn off all the wireless devices simultaneously.
Operating system controls
The Network and Sharing Center allows you to set up a connection or network, connect to a network,
and diagnose and repair network problems.
To use operating system controls:
1.From the Start screen, type control panel, and then select Control Panel.

Connecting to a WLAN
NOTE:When you are setting up Internet access in your home, you must establish an account with
an Internet service provider (ISP). To purchase Internet service and a modem, contact a local ISP.
The ISP will help set up the modem, install a network cable to connect your wireless router to the
modem, and test the Internet service.
To connect to a WLAN, follow these steps:
1.Be sure that the WLAN device is on.
2.From the Start screen or the Windows desktop, point to the upper-right or lower-right corner of
the screen to reveal the charms.
3.Select Settings, and then select the network status icon.
4.Select your WLAN from the list.
5.Select Connect.
If the WLAN is a security-enabled WLAN, you are prompted to enter a security code. Type the
code, and then select Next to complete the connection.
NOTE:If no WLANs are listed, you may be out of range of a wireless router or access point.
NOTE:If you do not see the WLAN you want to connect to, from the Windows desktop, right-
click or tap and hold the network status icon, and then select Open Network and Sharing Center.
Select Set up a new connection or network. A list of options is displayed, allowing you to
manually search for and connect to a network or to create a new network connection.
6.Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection.
After the connection is made, place the mouse pointer over the network status icon in the notification
area, at the far right of the taskbar, to verify the name and status of the connection.
NOTE:The functional range (how far your wireless signals travel) depends on WLAN
implementation, router manufacturer, and interference from other electronic devices or structural
barriers such as walls and floors.

						

							●Mouse
●External keyboard
Bluetooth devices provide peer-to-peer capability that allows you to set up a PAN of Bluetooth
devices. For information about configuring and using Bluetooth devices, see the Bluetooth software
Help.
Sharing data and drives and accessing software
When your computer is part of a network, you are not limited to using only the information that is
stored in your computer. Computers connected to the network can exchange software and data with
each other.
For more information about sharing files, folders, or drives, see the information provided in Help and
Support.
