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
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 oices, your home, and
public places such as airports, restaurants, coee shops, hotels, and universities. In a WLAN, the mobile
wireless device in your computer communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access point.
HP Mobile Broadband Module (select products only)—A wireless wide area network (WWAN) device that
gives you wireless connectivity over a much larger area. Mobile network operators install base stations
(similar to cell phone towers) throughout large geographic areas, eectively providing coverage across
entire states, regions, or even countries.
Bluetooth device (select products 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.

website links provided in Help and Support. Select Start > 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)
HP Connection Manager software
Operating system controls
Using the wireless button
The computer may have 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, and if your computer has
a wireless light, 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 o, all wireless
devices are o.
NOTE: On some models, the wireless light is amber when all wireless devices are o.
Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless button to turn on or turn o
the wireless devices simultaneously. Individual wireless devices can be controlled through HP Connection
Manager.
