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 coee shops and airports may not provide
any security. If you are concerned about the security of your computer in a hotspot, limit your network
activities to email that is not condential and basic Internet surng.
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 rewall.
A rewall checks both data and requests for data 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, access Help and Support by selecting Start > Help and Support.
Connecting to a WLAN
To connect to the WLAN, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the computer. Be sure that the WLAN device is on. If the device is on, the wireless light is on. If
the wireless light is o, press the wireless button.
NOTE: On some models, the wireless light is amber when all wireless devices are o.
2. Click the network status icon in the notication area, at the far right of the taskbar.
3. Select a WLAN to connect to.
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, click Open Network and Sharing Center.
and then click 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.
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 notication 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 oors.
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)
