							3 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.
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, one or more wireless devices, and, on select models, one or two
wireless lights. All the wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory. If your computer has a
wireless light, the wireless light is on (white) when your computer is on.
The wireless light indicates the overall power state of your wireless devices, not the status of individual
devices. If the wireless light is white, at least one wireless device is on. If the wireless light is off, all wireless
devices are off.
NOTE:On some models, the wireless light is amber when all wireless devices are off.
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.

1.Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer.
2.Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack (2) or router.
NOTE:If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents interference from
TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer.
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
