Configuring a wireless router
For help in setting up a WLAN, refer to the information provided by your
router manufacturer or your ISP.
The Windows operating system also provides tools to help you set up a
new wireless network. To use the Windows tools to set up your network,
select
Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and
Sharing Center > Set up a new connection or network > Set up a
new network . Then follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you initially connect your new wireless
computer to the router by using the network cable provided with the
router. When the computer successfully connects to the Internet, you can
disconnect the cable, and then access the Internet through your wireless
network.
Protecting your WLAN
When you set up a WLAN or access an existing WLAN, always turn on
security features to protect your network from unauthorized access.
For information on protecting your WLAN, refer to the HP Notebook
