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 on. 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 and hold, 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 Next.

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 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 notification

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 floors.

Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)

HP Mobile Broadband enables your computer to use WWANs to access the Internet from more

places and over larger areas than it can by using WLANs. Using HP Mobile Broadband requires a

network service provider (called a mobile network operator), which in most cases is a cellular phone

network operator. Coverage for HP Mobile Broadband is similar to cellular phone voice coverage.

When used with mobile network operator service, HP Mobile Broadband gives you the freedom to

stay connected to the Internet, send email, or connect to your corporate network whether you are on

the road or outside the range of Wi-Fi hotspots.

HP supports the following technologies:

● HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), which provides access to networks based on the Global

System for Mobile Communications (GSM) telecommunications standard.

●

EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized), which provides access to networks based on the code

division multiple access (CDMA) telecommunications standard.

●

LTE (Long Term Evolution), which provides access to networks supporting LTE technology.

You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module IMEI and/or MEID number to activate mobile

broadband service. The serial number is printed on a label inside the battery bay of your computer.

Some mobile network operators require the use of a SIM. A SIM contains basic information about

you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network information. Some computers
