Connecting a Wireless LAN (WLAN)
Use your computer’s built-in wireless LAN module to access your home or office
network. The wireless LAN module is powered by the Intel® PROSet/Wireless
utility.
Wireless systems work in infrastructure mode or peer-topeer mode. In
infrastructure mode, wireless devices communicate to a wired LAN via access
points. In ad-hoc mode (also known as peer-to-peer mode), wireless devices
communicate with each other directly and do not use an access point.
To connect to a wireless network:
Press

The Intel® PROSet wireless module automatically scans for available
networks.
Follow the on-screen prompts to access a network. Click Help in the Intel®
PROSet/Wireless utility for assistance.
Click the utility icon in the system tray at any time to open the Intel PROSet
Utility.
