    							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
    Wireless technology transfers data across radio waves instead of wires. Your computer may be
    equipped with one or more of the following wireless devices:
    ●Wireless local area network (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 (select models only)—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, see the information and website links provided in
    Help and Support. From the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and Support.
    Using the wireless controls
    You can control the wireless devices in your computer using these features:
    ●Wireless button, wireless switch, or wireless key (referred to in this chapter as the wireless
    button) (select models only)
    ●Operating system controls
    Using the wireless button
    The computer has a wireless button, one or more wireless devices, and one or two wireless lights,
    depending on the model. All of the wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory, so
    the wireless light is on (white) when you turn on the computer.
    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 the wireless devices simultaneously.
    Using 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.

    2.Type network and sharing in the search box, and then select Network and Sharing
    Center.
    For more information, from the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and Support.
    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. Network computers can exchange software and data with each other.
    NOTE:When a disc like a DVD movie or game is copy-protected, it cannot be shared.
    To share folders or libraries on the same network:
    1.From the Windows desktop, open File Explorer.
    2.Click the Share menu on the Libraries window, and then click Specific people.
    3.Type a name in the File Sharing box, and then click Add.
    4.Click Share and then follow the on-screen instructions.

    discovery, file and printer sharing or other network options.
    Using a WLAN
    With a WLAN device, you can access a wireless local area network (WLAN), which is composed of
    other computers and accessories that are linked by a wireless router or a wireless access point.
    16 Chapter 3   Connecting to a network 
    						
    							NOTE:The terms wireless router and wireless access point are often used interchangeably.
    ●A large-scale WLAN, such as a corporate or public WLAN, typically uses wireless access points
    that can accommodate a large number of computers and accessories and can separate critical
    network functions.
    ●A home or small office WLAN typically uses a wireless router, which allows several wireless and
    wired computers to share an Internet connection, a printer, and files without requiring additional
    pieces of hardware or software.
    To use the WLAN device in your computer, you must connect to a WLAN infrastructure (provided
    through a service provider or a public or corporate network).
    Using an Internet service provider
    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.
    NOTE:Your ISP will give you a user ID and a password to use for Internet access. Record this
    information and store it in a safe place.
    Setting up a WLAN
    To set up a WLAN and connect to the Internet, you need the following equipment:
    ●A broadband modem (either DSL or cable) (1) and high-speed Internet service purchased from
    an Internet service provider
    ●A wireless router (2) (purchased separately)
    ●A wireless computer (3)
    NOTE:Some modems have a built-in wireless router. Check with your ISP to determine what type
    of modem you have.
    The illustration below shows an example of a wireless network installation that is connected to the
    Internet.
    As your network grows, additional wireless and wired computers can be connected to the network to
    access the Internet.
    For help in setting up your WLAN, see the information provided by your router manufacturer or your
    ISP.
    Configuring a wireless router
    For help in setting up a WLAN, see the information provided by your router manufacturer or your ISP.
    Connecting to a wireless network 17 
    						
    							NOTE:It is recommended that you initially connect your new wireless computer to the router by
    using the network cable provided with the router. When the computer successfully connects to the
    Internet, disconnect the cable, and access the Internet through your wireless network.
    Protecting your WLAN
    When you set up a WLAN or access an existing WLAN, always enable security features to protect
    your network from unauthorized access. WLANs in public areas (hotspots) like coffee shops and
    airports may not provide any security. If you are concerned about the security of your computer when
    connected to a hotspot, limit your network activities to email that is not confidential and basic Internet
    surfing.
    Wireless radio signals travel outside the network, so other WLAN devices can pick up unprotected
    signals. Take the following precautions to protect your WLAN:
    ●Use a firewall.
    A firewall checks information and requests that are sent to your network, and discards any
    suspicious items. Firewalls are available in both software and hardware. Some networks use a
    combination of both types.
    ●Use wireless encryption.
    Wireless encryption uses security settings to encrypt and decrypt data that is transmitted over
    the network. For more information, from the Start screen, type h, and then select Help and
    Support.
    Connecting to a WLAN
    To connect to the WLAN, follow these steps:
    1.Be sure that the WLAN device is on. If the device is on, the wireless light is white. If the wireless
    light is off, press the wireless button.
    NOTE:On some models, the wireless light is amber when all wireless devices are off.
    2.From the Windows desktop, tap or click the network status icon in the notification area, at the far
    right of the taskbar.
    3.Select your WLAN from the list.
    4.Click Connect.
    If the WLAN is a security-enabled WLAN, you are prompted to enter a security code. Type the
    code, and then click OK 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 the network status icon, and then select Open Network and Sharing Center. Click Set up
    a new connection or network. A list of options is revealed, allowing you to manually search for
    and connect to a network or to create a new network connection.
    5.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.
    18 Chapter 3   Connecting to a network 
    						
    							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.
    Using Bluetooth wireless devices (select models only)
    A Bluetooth device provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical cable
    connections that traditionally link electronic devices such as the following:
    ●Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA)
    ●Phones (cellular, cordless, smart phone)
    ●Imaging devices (printer, camera)
    ●Audio devices (headset, speakers)
    ●Mouse
    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.
    Connecting to a wired network
    Connecting to a local area network (LAN)
    Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the computer directly to a router in your home (instead
    of working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an existing network at your office.
    Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 (network) cable.
    To connect the network cable, follow these steps:
    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.
    Connecting to a wired network 19
