Wireless LAN
Wireless LAN is an optional feature. This function allows you to create a wireless network
link with an access point or directly with another wireless-enabled PC.
Using the key combination Fn+F2 you can enable or disable the wireless LAN function. A
corresponding LED will light.
Warning!
Make sure the Wireless LAN option is switched OFF in any environment
where it might interfere with critical and sensitive devices, e.g. on aircraft, in
hospitals and other medical centres, etc.
Conditions
An access point is a wireless transmitter that communicates with your Netbook and
controls access to the network connection (e.g., a home network or a broadband
connection such as DSL). Wireless access points are often found in offices, airports,
universities or Internet cafés. They offer access to networks or to the Internet.
Access
authorizations are normally needed. A fee may be required to use a public access point.
To set up a wireless network to share Internet access, files, and printers at home, you will
need an access point, a router, and a broadband (DSL or cable) modem. Some access
points can also serve as a router and/or a broadband modem. Check with your retailer or
Internet Service Provider to find the best solution for your needs. A link to another
computer with wireless LAN functionality can also be created
without an access point .
This will allow you to share files, but you will need an access point and a router to share an
Internet connection. The wireless network connection works in accordance with the
IEEE 802.11n
*
Standard (compatible with the 802.11b/g Standard).
The transmission speed can vary according to distance and other factors.
*
A WLAN router in accordance with the 801.11 standard will be necessary, in order to be
able to exploit the complete performance.
