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.

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 oice WLAN typically uses a wireless router, which allows several wireless and wired

computers to share an Internet connection, a printer, and les 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 computer 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.
